Born in London before moving to Norfolk, Mrs Green was 17 years old when she joined the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) on 13 September 1918 - two months before the armistice.
Mrs Green worked as a waitress on RAF bases in Norfolk
She left on 18 July 1919.
In 2010 Mrs Green's story emerged after a researcher uncovered her records.
Mrs Evetts said: "She was just the most wonderful mother you could ask for. No-one had a bad word to say about her."
She said her mother had rarely talked about her work with the WRAF as she "didn't like to blow her own trumpet", but added she was "proud of her service and loved the people she worked with".
