Mr. Ted M. Greer, age 76 of Stuart, Virginia passed away at his home on Friday, September 20, 2024. He was born in Tennessee on February 5, 1948, to the late Edmund Reeves Greer and Pansy June Grindstaff Greer. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, Bart Greer. Ted was an avid muzzleloader enthusiast and held several National Rifle Association shooting records both nationally and internationally. He shared his love of riflery through the Patrick County 4-H Marksman Shooting Club where he coached and mentored the members. Ted was given the title of honorary Girl Scout because of all of his volunteer efforts, as he worked alongside his wife, Polly, in Girl Scouts for many years. He loved to travel with Polly and went on many trips with the Girl Scouts. He dearly loved his family, and the light of his life was his five great-grandsons; watching them grow and play sports brought him so much joy. Being their Papa Ted was his greatest privilege.
Mr. Greer is survived by his devoted wife, Polly Flippin Greer of the home; three daughters, Wendy Greer of Roanoke, Cindy Greer (Samuel Reynolds) of Stuart, and Tina Greer (Chad Lane) of Colorado; one granddaughter, Maigan Hazelwood (Andrew) of Stuart; five great-grandsons, Dylan, Nathan, Adrian, Jordan, and Abram; two brothers, Jim Greer (Nancy) of Georgia and Tracy Greer of Lynchburg; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
