Mrs. Charlene Sims Greene faithfully served the City of Grambling as an employee for 45 years as secretary, clerk treasurer, and administrative assistant. She started her career under the first visionary, Mayor B.T. Woodard, and council, and she passed on the vision whenever she could. She was a stabilizing force in the transition of government with six mayors and councils. There are no pages of the incorporated City of Grambling's history that do not include her relentless efforts to assist in the advancement of the city. Although she did not work with Mayor Edward Jones in his capacity as mayor, she did serve with him during his term as councilman.
