Mona grew up on the family farm in Elton Municipality, attended Elton School and graduated high school from St. Michael's Academy in Brandon.

She met and subsequently married the love of her life, Russell Green, at St. Paul's United Church (now Central United Church) on October 30th, 1954. With much laughter and love, they grew their family and farm and passed their love of the land and passion for farming onto each of their four children.
