Mable Dorothy Dahlgren Green was born on August 13, 1916 in McCombe, Missouri, the daughter of Victor and Lucy Dahlgren. Mable entered into the arms of her Lord on October 2, 2011 in Shenandoah, Iowa.
During Mable's younger years the family traveled the Midwest and settled in Hamburg, Iowa. In 1936 Mable moved to California with friends where she resided for 2 years. Mable then returned to Hamburg and married Roy Green on March 6, 1940. Roy and Mable farmed and worked in the communities of Hamburg, Sioux City, and Shenandoah until 1950 when they purchased a farm north of Shenandoah.
During her working years Mable was employed by Dekalb Seed and Corn and Henry Fields Nursery. After retiring Roy and Mable enjoyed traveling. The couple were long-time members of the Shenandoah Assembly of God Church. Mable was blessed to reside on her beloved farm until 2 weeks prior to her passing. What a remarkable accomplishment!
