James Green

James Green better known as “Jimmy” answered the call of the Master on Friday, December 2, 2016. Jimmy was born on December 12, 1936 in Barnwell S.C to the late Lucille Green and Richard Frazier. After traveling and taking residence in a few other states, he settled and made his home in Delaware. Jimmy worked at Draper King Cole for 40 years where he was a very hard, loyal and devoted worker and hated to miss time from work. Jimmy was a very independent person and loved helping where he could lend a hand. Jimmy was a great family man and would never let his children or anyone else for that matter, go without. If he had, it you had it. Jimmy was the type of person that wasn't ashamed to tell the struggles of his life, and if you ever encountered him, by the time you left you would think you had known him for years. He enjoyed being with his family and friends, listening to quartet singers, playing cards, watching westerns, wrestling and his all-time favorite “Walker, Texas Ranger”. In 1965, Jimmy met the love of his life, Wyonia D. Stevens (you should have heard the story) and they remained together until her death on May 25, 2014, sharing 48 years together. If you didn't know them you wouldn't understand them but, the loved they shared for one another was unbreakable. Jimmy leaves nine beloved children to mourn his loss; three daughters, Linda Cook (John) of Laurel, DE, Gladys Bosty (Leroy) of Milford, DE, Joanne Green of Delray Branch FL; six sons, Elvis Stevens of Ellendale, Delaware, Arthur Stevens (Simone) of Seaford, Delaware, Tyrone Green (Shilondra) of Ellendale, Delaware, Ricky Stevens of Milton, Delaware, Freddie Stevens (Luchelle) of Milton, Delaware, Anthony Green of Delray Beach Florida; one brother, Thomas Green (Cynthia) of Eden, Maryland; three sisters, Josephine Vincent of Allen, Maryland, Irene Price and Gladys Hankerson of Delray Beach, Florida. He also leaves two granddaughters whom he raised, Ty’ja Best of Milford, Delaware and Ja’Onna Gass of Rehoboth, Delaware, along with 21 grandchildren, 15 great-great grandchildren, a very special sister-n-law, Charlene Stevens; best friend, Felton Lewis and a host of nieces, nephews and friends. Jimmy was preceded in death by five brothers, Worney Green, Richard Frazier, Allen Hunter, Urlee Frazier and William Green; his mother-n-law, Mary F. Stevens, and his father-n-law, Jason Winstead.
