Your Life was a blessing, your Memory a Treasure.  You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Vivian Jacqueline Green "Jackie" of 534 Moore St. Waverly, Virginia transitioned peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior and the family whom she loved so dearly on Sunday, May 10, 2020, at her residence. Vivian was born on January 8, 1946, to the late Eddie Birchett, Sr. and Mary Birchett in Waverly, Virginia.

She was preceded in death by her parents Eddie Birchett, Sr. and Mary Birchett, maternal grandparents John Williams and Nellie Mae Williams, paternal grandparents Rena Birchett Howard and Eugene Howard, one sister Gail Birchett, one daughter Vivian Lorraine Birchett (Cookie) and one son Antonio Terrell Green all whom she loved deeply.

Vivian was educated in the Sussex County Public School System. After school, she left for the big city of New York with her cousins and was a domestic care worker for an affluent family. She later returned to Virginia and was employed in the area of Food Service in Fort Lee, Virginia, Masonite Corporation, Waverly, Virginia but she found her divine purpose working in the health care field as a private duty nurse. She enjoyed caring for the elderly, especially her mother whom she provided exceptional care until her passing. Vivian also had the pleasure of traveling and seeing the world, where she once lived in Germany and in 1980 she moved her family to Killeen, TX with her then-husband James L. Green who was a member of the United States Navy and U.S. Army.

Vivian was proud to be a member of her son Terrence's church, Empowerment Temple Ministries in Waverly, Virginia. She enjoyed inspirational and encouraging messages from her son and her heart was overjoyed to see her granddaughter (Tayjah) play the drums.

Vivian was known for her wit and humor for she was a fun person to be around who was always the life of all family gatherings.  However, she also had a "no-nonsense" attitude that earned her the name "Cisco Kid" because she had no problem being direct and letting you know when you have crossed the line with her. Despite her firm demeanor, she still had a heart of gold and often opened her home to family/friends who needed a place to stay. She will be most fondly remembered for the unconditional love that she had for her "Triple T'S" who were her three sons Troy, Terrell, and Terrence.  In her later years, it was her grandkids that always brought a smile to her face and put joy in her heart when they were in her presence. In her spare time, until her health declined, she loved going fishing with her friends and even made the Sussex-Surry Dispatch Newspaper for catching a 7lb. 6oz. 23" fish using a cane pole.

She leaves to carry on her legacy and cherish her memory her two devoted sons Pastor Terrence Green, Sr. (Tanisha) of Waverly, VA who made sure that all of her medical and personal needs were taken care of and Pastor Troy Nevells (Diane) of Providence, NC who she could depend on staying with when she wanted a vacation away from home, nine grandchildren who were her pride and joy Shakeen Croker of Suffolk, VA, Keyera Murphy of Prince George, VA, Tayjah Green, Tanea Green and Terrence Green, Jr. all of Waverly, VA, Khalil Green of Dinwiddie, VA, Gabrielle Nevells and Miguel Nevells of Greensboro, NC, Sha'Bria Baines of Prince George, VA, two great grandsons TayVionce Murphy of Prince George, VA and Jordan Croker of Suffolk, VA, two children that she helped raise Kanisha Jones of Waverly, VA and Kadeem Jones of Memphis, TN, three loving sisters Juanita Parham of Petersburg, VA, Marion Graves of Reidsville, NC, Brenda Taylor (Charlie) of Disputanta, VA, one devoted brother Eddie Birchett, Jr. of Petersburg, VA, one aunt Vernell Gresham of Richmond, VA, a devoted nephew who was like a son to her Edward Lee Birchett, Sr. (Angela) and children Julia Birchett, Edward Lee Birchett, Jr., Adam Birchett who stayed with her and help to take care of her, special niece Rose Thomas, sister in law Vivian C.
