Kathleen Louise Minner Greer, 91, of Elkview, West Virginia, died Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018, at Kanawha Hospice Care after a long illness.
She was born Feb. 21, 1927, in Bomont, Clay County, the daughter of the late William Ralph and Ella Frances Caldwell Minner. On Sep. 9, 1944, she married Raymond Edwin Greer in Charleston.
Kathleen was a member of the Elmore Advent Christian Church in Charleston for most of her adult life. She was well known for her dedication to teaching Sunday School and Junior Church to the younger children. She was also a member and officer of Stonewall Jackson High School Band Boosters, was a scout leader for both girl scouts and Brownies and was a substitute teacher in the earlier years of her life. Her hobbies were centered around her home and her church.
