Gaynell Green, age 53, of Dripping Springs, TX, went to be with her Lord and Savior on October 8, 2018, after a courageous fight with pancreatic cancer. Gaynell was born on April 30, 1965 to Edgar and Alice Glass in San Angelo, TX. She graduated from Water Valley High School with valedictorian honors. She continued her education at Angelo State University and earned her bachelor’s degree in Accounting. She worked for Armstrong, Backus and Co in San Angelo for several years, until she met the love of her life, Troy Green. She worked for a CPA firm for a few years before landing her permanent position with Brian Bailey Custom Homes in Austin, TX, where she worked for over 24 years. They were married for over 27 years and raised three beautiful daughters.
Gaynell was a wonderful wife and mother. She and Troy enjoyed traveling together and chasing their girls around the country to sporting events. Her eyes would light up when she talked about her girls and how proud she was of them and their accomplishments. One of her final wishes was to see as many of her youngest daughter’s college volleyball games as possible. She was able to make three trips to Corpus Christi in her final two months to attend 5 games. In her spare time, Gaynell was passionate about crocheting, sewing, and quilting. On the road travelling to volleyball games, Gaynell loved crocheting baby blankets. In her spare time at home, she had a talent for piecing and quilting beautiful quilts, embroidery work, wall hangings, table runners, and anything else she could whip up – a legacy she passed on to her girls. Gaynell was a true testament to what a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend should be. Her family and friends will live with her in our hearts and she will continue to guide us all to be together, have fun, and enjoy life.
Gaynell is survived by her husband of 27 years: Troy Green; three daughters: Jisele Jansante and husband Jason, Shelby Green, Madison Green; one step-daughter: Mikala Wilson and husband Quinton and their three children; her parents: Edgar and Alice Glass; three brothers: Charles Glass and wife Nora, Travis Glass and wife Angie, Roger Glass and wife Melissa; two sisters: Coleen Glass, Janet Jordan and husband Wayne; many nieces and nephews; dear friends and special boss: Brian Bailey.
