William Haskell Green
Dr. William Haskell Green, 84, of Ringgold, Georgia, passed away on Friday, December 29, 2023.
Dr. Green was born in San Francisco, Ca., on March 16, 1939, the son of the late William Haskell Green and Laura Elzetta Hickman Green. He earned his doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Oregon. His greatest passion was teaching teachers how to teach without lecturing. He retired as Dean of Education in 2018 from the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist International Institute of Advance Studies (AIIAS) in the Philippines. After retirement, Dr. Green continued to guide students as they completed their doctoral degrees. He was a member of West Covina Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church. He will be remembered for his dry sense of humor. Dr. Green loved traveling the world with his wife and they served as missionaries in Jamaica and the Philippines. He enjoyed collecting bright colorful art that reflected the countries they visited. Above all from a student’s heart his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of all those fortunate enough to have been touched by his guidance.
In addition to his parents, Dr. Green was preceded in death by a son, Kevin Green; sister, JoAnne Parsons; and a brother, Sonny Green.
Survivors include his wife, Dr. Rita Henriquez-Green; four children, Kim Green, Michael Green, Shellie Prussia, and Dr. Timothy Green (Jody); six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; brother, Robert Green (Aletha); and a sister, Darla Burch. Several nieces and nephews also survive.
A Celebration of Life will be held.
