Interment will follow in the Carmen City Cemetery under the direction of Wentworth Mortuary, LLC, of Carmen. Vencil Leroy “Corky” Green, son of the late Hugh and Mabel (Williamson) Green, was born June 21 or June 22, 1932, on the family farmstead in Alfalfa County. We don’t know what day for sure. His mother, Mabel, told him that the hospital messed up his birth certificate and the date is really June 21st. Corky would always say, “I know it’s that day because I was there.” He passed away October 15, 2023, at Fairview, at the age of 91 years, 3 months, and 24 days. Corky grew up on the farm northeast of Carmen with his brother, Verle, and two sisters, Vereta and Donna Rose. Corky went to school in Carmen and graduated at Carmen High School with the class of 1950. He proudly served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. On October 6, 1950, he was united in marriage to Loreta Maydeen Jack at Cherokee, Oklahoma. They made their home on the family farm where they raised their children, Jackie and Jane. In 1984 they moved into Carmen where they are currently living. He was a member of the Carmen Christian Church, the American Legion, the Carmen After 55 Club, and he and Loreta were very active in the Republican Party. Corky loved his horses and racing them and in general was a lover of all animals. He and Loreta enjoyed traveling with friends. He got his private pilot’s license and they flew many places. Loreta also got her license so if something happened, she could land the plane. Besides his parents, Hugh and Mabel, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Verle Green, Vereta McBride, and Donna Ryel. Corky is survived by his bride of 73 years, Loreta of Carmen; his son, Jackie Green and girlfriend, Sharie Ainsworth, of Carmen; his daughter, Jane Green of Hot Springs, Arkansas; his grandchildren, Courtney Green of Enid, Mathew Green and wife, Molly, of Cherokee, and Jessica Green and Jason Burns of Aline; his daughter-in-law, Sherry Green of Cherokee; four great grandchildren, Benelli Green, Lucian English, Stratton Green, and Candice Green; nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends. Memorial contributions may be made through the mortuary to the Carmen Fire Department, the Aline Fire Department, or the Hospice Circle of Love.
