Before retiring, Mark was an orthopedic surgeon, specializing in hand and upper limb surgery for thirty-four years in Salt Lake City, Utah and Jacksonville, Illinois. He has served in a variety of Church callings, including a full-time mission to Belgium and France.
After his mission, Mark married the beautiful Jill Stephenson. They have six children: Brian, Lara, Lys-An, Linsey, Leslee, and Stephen. All of them are uniquely special and have brought Mark and Jill great joy.
Some of Doctor Greene’s patients called him triplesticks because of the Roman numeral III ending his name. It represents three generations of Mark Greenes. He appreciates this sobriquet because it reminds him of the name he bears and the ancestry it represents. His father was also an orthopedic hand surgeon, and his grandfather was a professor of finance at the University of Utah. He still, on occasion, sees people who remember these wonderful men.
Mark’s passionate study is temple theology. He has written a published book about this subject titled The Scriptural Temple. His passionate project is memorializing Zion’s Camp to tell its real story and build up a waste place of Zion in Jacksonville, Illinois.
