I finished as a Greene, but born a Whiteside… I, Lashenia Teresa Greene, made
my debut on January 21, 1974, in Gary, Indiana. Born to parents Zadie L. Word
and Romie Whiteside, Sr., I spent most of my childhood in Bellwood, Illinois, until I
relocated to Chicago, Illinois, where I graduated from Foreman High School. I was
a member of ROTC and enlisted into the United States Navy, where I served six
years as a Hospital Corpsman at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California.
I married Reginald Alan Greene, and of our union, I birthed two beautiful daughters, Alexus and Kayla. Later, I graduated from The University of Phoenix with a BS in Business Administration on September 30, 2009.
In June 1994, I became a member at North Park Apostolic Church, being saved that same year. In 1995, I joined Golden Hills Triple A Ministries under the tutelage of Bishop Dr. Loretta A. Gonzales, and I became ordained in 2002.
In 2006, my husband and I founded Solid Rock Worship Center, and I was ordained an
Evangelist under Senior Pastor Russell Bowman of Righteous Living Ministries in El
Cajon, CA.
In 2021, I became a partner at Greater Life Church, under Pastor Nate Stewart. I served as the ministry leader of the Altar Workers.
In 2020, I launched KBG Kreations which stands for Kreate, Build, and Grind, where we specialize in a new way of expressing kreations through clothing.
During my 49 years of life, I experienced some joy, lots of laughter, true love, great sacrifices, and even some pain. With all that God has favored me to do and all the achievements I’ve made, nothing compares to the day I was able to lay it ALL down at his feet. On September 20, 2023, I received my final and eternal reward! I know 49 years may seem young to some of you, but chile, I was tired!!
I’ve been preceded in death by my biological father Romie Whiteside, Sr. and my adoptive parents, Leodis and Lillian Carr.
I leave to cherish my memory grandmother Hazel Richardson, mother Zadie L. Word, siblings; Romie Whiteside III (Temika), Samuel Holloway III, Anthony Whiteside, Joi Whiteside, Tracy Johnson, Brandy Whiteside, and Tia Whiteside, and children in love, Demetrius and Jasmine Greene.
I leave to cherish my legacy husband Reggie, daughters; Alexus and Kayla, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
