Jennifer Marie Greene

Jennifer Marie Greene, 62 of Ruskin, Florida went to be with the Lord on July 8, 2021. She was born on October 27, 1958, in Northwood, North Dakota to Marlys (Sotvik) and Peter Locken. Jennifer lived and worked in the Washington, D.C. and Memphis, TN areas prior to relocating to Florida. She worked as a programmer and systems analyst for several Sarasota and Bradenton-based companies including Tropicana Products. Ultimately, she retired from PepsiCo in 2013 after some twenty-five years of service. She was an avid hockey fan, having been a hockey cheerleader in high school. She also loved the beach, fishing and boating on the Little Manatee River. She found great satisfaction in cooking, gardening, sewing and travelling to new places, especially after her retirement. Her family and many friends will remember her as a very generous person, always willing to help out without having been asked. She also loved all children and most animals – particularly dogs and the wild birds that flocked to her garden feeders. Some of her favorite times were spent watching the Florida sunsets from the dock behind her home. Jennifer is survived by her loving husband, Michael Stephen Greene and son, Philip Benjamin Greene - Ruskin; mother, Marlys Antonoplos – Fargo, ND; sisters Elizabeth (Edward) Obregon – Grand Forks, ND and Mary Locken – Fargo, ND; brother Dr. Peter (Christy) Locken – Paducah, KY and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Lindsay Nicole Greene – Brandon, FL; father Jim Antonoplos – Fargo, ND; sister Deanna (Jeff) Yarmo – Crystal Lake, IL; stepdaughter Leesa (Ricky) Spencer – Memphis, TN and many aunts and uncles. The family will receive guests for a visitation from 5-7pm on Friday July 23, 2021, at Sun City Center Funeral Home, 1851 Rickenbacker Drive Sun City Center, Florida 33573.
