‘You are forever in our hearts': Family pay tribute to Marie Green who was killed in her own Belfast home
Mary (Marie) Green was found dead in the early hours of Tuesday morning in her home. Her son Lewis Green appeared in court earlier this week charged with killing the 71-year-old. Mrs Green's funeral will take place next Friday. A Service of Thanksgiving will be held at Antrim and Newtownabbey Crematorium. A death notice said Mrs Green was a 'beloved wife", a 'much loved mum' and 'a loving granny'. It said her death was 'deeply regretted by the entire family circle', adding: 'Marie, you are forever in our hearts.' Mrs Green's remains will leave Wrays Funeral Home on the Shore Road on Friday at 11.20am for the service of thanksgiving at the crematorium on the Doagh Road, Newtownabbey, at noon. On Thursday Lewis Green (31), also of Shore Road, was remanded into custody accused of her murder, with the alleged offence aggravated by reason of involving domestic abuse. He has also been charged with non-fatal strangulation on June 2, and with the common assault of another person, which was also described as aggravated by reason of involving domestic abuse. It is understood police were called to the scene late on Monday evening after receiving a 999 call from Mrs Green. 'I'm just in complete shock,' one neighbour said. Another added: 'It really is shocking, I am just stunned.' A third said: 'People can't believe it, just being down the road. You certainly don't expect it. 'She would have been a regular at the shop.' Another spoke of fear in the community, with a mix of confusion and sadness. Earlier this week, North Belfast DUP MLA, Phillip Brett, said: 'There is a massive shock and sadness in the Shore Road community following (the) tragic incident … my thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted.' Local Alliance MLA, Nuala McAllister, said: 'This was a horrifying incident and I want to express my deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the victim. 'The local community is in immense shock, but I have no doubt they will come together to support the family during what will be such a distressing time.'
