The Honorable Jennifer Miller Green

The Honorable Jennifer M. Green, 53, passed away on December 12, 2014 in Raleigh, NC at Transitions LifeCare Hospice Home surrounded by her family. As a teenager, Jennifer was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma which led to various other illnesses and afflictions. Her latest battle, which started on October 9th unfortunately could not be overcome. Through all her illnesses, Jennifer never complained and few knew of any of her illnesses. Jennifer was born in Roanoke Rapids, NC on June 26, 1961 to Milton and Barbara Miller. Being the daughter of military family, Jennifer grew up in Atlanta, Germany, Hampton , VA and finally settling in Beulaville, NC from where she graduated from East Duplin High School. She attended UNC-Greensboro where she received a BS in Business Administration and then graduated with JD from UNC. Jennifer began her legal career as a family lawyer at various firms in Raleigh. In 2000, she was elected as a District Court Judge, a position she held at the time of her death. A dedicated public servant, she was unafraid to make difficult and tough decisions, including her long time commitment to combating Domestic Violence. In addition to her work, she was dedicated to her family, serving her church as an elder and on other committees, and various other organizations. She is survived by her loving husband and son, Mark A. La Mantia and Cameron M. Green (a second year law student at the University of Miami), a step-daughter Elyse Hope of Seattle, her mother Barbara Miller of Raleigh, her sister Cheryl Piner and her husband Jim of Rocky Mount, and a host of other family, friends and colleagues that are near and dear to her heart.
