Betty Lou “Nanny” McCloud Greene, age 91, of Butler, Tennessee, passed away on Monday, April 29, 2024 at the Waters of Roan Highlands following an extended illness. Betty was born November 18, 1932 to the late John and Bessie McCloud.

Betty took great pleasure in her family and dearly loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to teach them things such as fishing and driving, and they would often fight for a slice of her delicious homemade bread. In addition to her bread she also made many wonderful meals loved by everyone who had the opportunity to eat at her table. Betty’s passion was for being outdoors, particularly gardening, and she enjoyed canning her homegrown vegetables. She was skilled at crocheting and quilting and loved passing on the legacy of her beautiful quilts. Betty was a faithful member of Hope Christian Fellowship.
