Mrs. Tamsie Green Lynch, 81, passed away on her birthday, June 18th, 2026.

Mrs. Lynch was born in Thomasville, NC to the late Jesse Joseph Green and Nell Curlee Green. She lived in Thomasville until she graduated from Thomasville High School at the age of 16. After she attended High Point University, Tamsie worked in the orthopedic ward at Wake Medical Center in Raleigh and was a caring nurse.

Her husband Jack was CEO and President of Telerent Leasing Corporation, where she worked with him for several years in design and national sales prior to retiring.

Jack and Tamsie established an endowed scholarship plan at Duke University in the athletic department. They were avid Iron Dukes and enjoyed attending basketball and football games, as well as other Duke events.

Tamsie was a talented cook and artist. She enjoyed hosting events with Jack at the home they once shared in Carolina Beach and putting those skills to use in service of her family, church, friends, and Duke community.
