Hattie Elizabeth Sullivan Green was described as a reserved person but passionate about her causes.
Friends say she helped prepare meals for the elderly, the sick, and those in need and was an inspiration to those who knew her.
Green died on Jan. 23 after a battle with dementia, according to an obituary by Unity Mortuary . She was 95.
“She brought such humility and genuineness that everyone was drawn to her. Quite reserved but passionate about her cause, she was an inspiration to us all,” Belton Mayor Eleanor Dorn said.
Dorn said she helped Green attend meetings and provided resources and support for her causes.
Belton officials said Green worked to improve sidewalks and water in the town. She also helped to redevelop the Belton Armory for a community center, renovate Leda Poore Park, and refurbish the Belton Standpipe landmark.
For more than 20 years, her obituary states she worked as the meal coordinator at First Baptist Church of Belton on Wednesday nights and for their special events. She named her own catering business Mrs. Hattie’s Catering.
