Ada Joyce Greer

Ada Joyce Greer passed peacefully from this life on the evening of October 27th, 2024, just three days short of her 94th birthday, at Life Care Center of Casper.

Ada was born on October 30th, 1930, to Joe and Mary Wilkinson in Sudan, Texas. She was the eighth of ten children born to Joe and Mary. She graduated from Sudan High School in 1948 with top honors. Later that same year (December 9th) she married Teddy Joe “Ted” Greer of Weirton, WV. They immediately left for College, Alaska (near Fairbanks) where Ted was employed working on the North Slope in an oil exploration related capacity.

Over the course of their marriage, Ada was constantly moving the family household due to Ted’s work. In addition to living in numerous States, moves were made to Canada, the Philippines, Australia, Nigeria and finally back to the States. After a comparatively long stay in Alaska and a few more moves they ended up in Houston, where they lived until Ted retired. After retiring, they moved to Casper in 1993.

Ada had many interests and hobbies over the years. She collected stamps, coins, spoons, and anything related to family history. Ada enjoyed sewing, baking, and writing letters.

Ada was preceded in death by Ted (2018), her husband of 69 years and her oldest son, Eric (2017). She leaves behind her two younger sisters, Mable Wages of Earth, TX., and Ruby Gipson of Gig Harbor, WA., as well as her youngest son Kendrick (& wife Linda), daughter-in-law Debi, six grandchildren (Erin, Jennifer, Caitlin, Owen, Mike, and Mary), and six great-grandchildren (Delaney, Evie, Tobias, Jensen, Joni, and Renley).

A memorial service will be held on Thursday April 10th at 2 PM at the Second Street Church of Christ, 2344 East 2nd Street, Casper.
