Bernita Kaye Green

Bernita K. Green 1951 - 2023 On October 14, Bernita transitioned to her heavenly destination. She could no longer fulfill her self-proclaimed mission to reach out and lift up those who were emotionally “down.” After losing her strength and sense of well-being, she left her earthly home to be with her heavenly hosts. Bernita’s early school life was experienced in the District of Columbia, where she graduated from high school at McKinley Tech. She then enrolled at Delaware State University in Dover, where she was inducted in the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Bernita made a positive impact on many through her home church, Greater Mt. Nebo A.M.E. Church, the National Association of University Women, Delaware State University Alumni Association, other organizations, family and friends. Bernita received a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Delaware State University, and she earned a master's degree from Trinity University in Washington, DC. She began her teaching career in the DC Public School System, where she worked until retirement in 2011. Bernita was spiritually grounded and continued her quest to learn more about God’s word and His direction of her life. Her study, work, and concern about the educational development and growth of young children led to the recent establishment of a scholarship in Bernita’s name at Delaware State University.

Robert C. Gaskill, numerous cousins in addition to other family members; and an untold number of friends.
