Obituary for Alivia Joanna Green
Alivia Joanna Green, 7, born August 3rd 2015 to the parents of Cory and Michelle Green in Olympia, Washington. She is survived by brothers Aydin and Austin Green, parents Cory and Michelle Green, grandparents Troy and Linda Green, Kim and Michael Miller, Terry Maier (deceased), aunts and uncles Jared and Susanna Green, Jason and Melissa Rustemeyer, Brad and Melanie Basler, Tyler and Kodie Jones, Rusty and Tyanna Boyce, along with many cousins.
Alivia was a bright, fun, adventurous, sassy little girl full of light. She had a heart of gold and loved helping others. She loved her friends and family very much. Alivia loved school, especially seeing her teachers Michelle Hill, Alan and Barbra Snyder. All of which made school a very special place for her. She loved math most of all.
Some of her many hobbies included soccer, dance, taekwondo, riding quads, swimming, and playing video games especially Fortnite and Minecraft. Alivia enjoyed going to church. She especially loved watching her mom lead worship and was her biggest fan. She enjoyed children’s church and loved God. At home some of her favorite things to do were playing with her dad and followed him around everywhere helping with projects around the house. They wrestled, played burrito and better listen. She was a daddy’s girl through and through. She loved hanging out with her brothers playing video games and watching Youtube videos. She was always excited to go to grandma and grandpas house to spend time and go through treasures.
When Alivia was diagnosed with DIPG in September of 2021 she lost all mobility and the doctors gave her 9 months to live. She defied all odds as she regained full mobility after her first round of radiation. Shrinking the tumor to almost nothing by a miracle. During this time Alivia thrived. She was where she wanted to be, back in school full time. Hanging out with her friends and cousin Isaac. She was going camping and living her best life.
In March of 2022 symptoms returned and she endured another round of radiation, and was put on a clinical trial. This required her to travel to Denver once a month. The community came together with an outpouring of donations totaling over 18,000 dollars. We made the most of the first trip by driving to Denver and Moab with the entire family before returning home.
Through this journey Alivia has fulfilled several life accomplishments. In September 2021 Alivia was honored by the Elma High School drill team and coach Jamie Jo Hiles as performer of the night during the varsity football game. They presented her with a uniform with her name on it and made it a very special night. She was also a part of the junior drill in September 2022.
Since Alivia was 4 she wanted to be a cop. The Chief of Police Susan Schultz and Angela Anderson made this happen by swearing her in as “chief bug for a day”. Chief Schultz came and picked Alivia up at home with full lights and sirens and presented her with a badge and hat, making her the happiest little girl to ever wear a police uniform. We are forever grateful to everyone involved for making this dream come true.
On January 2nd 2023 at 4:15 am Alivia transitioned peacefully in the arms of Jesus with loved ones by her side. On January 3rd 2023 Alivia did what she does best and continued to try and help others by donating her tissue in search for a cure to DIPG. Alivia’s battle was one of fierce strength. She was born to fight. She didn’t lose this battle. She won! She won the hearts of a community, doctors, teachers, churches and even strangers. She will never be forgotten. Thank you for choosing us to be your parents, it was an honor and we are so proud of you Bug.
A time of visitation will be held at Fern Hill Funeral Home on Friday, January 13th from 1-8 PM.
Alivia will be remembered on, Saturday, January 14th at 12pm at Four Square Church in Central Park, Washington. Burial will take place in a private ceremony at Masonic Cemetery, Elma, WA.
