Early life Ardeth Greene was born on March 19, 1931, in Cardston, Alberta, to Edwin Kent Greene and Julia Leavitt Greene. Shortly after her birth her family moved to Glenwood, Alberta. She was baptized into the LDS Church on April 4, 1939 in the Cardston Temple. In 1992, Kapp was succeeded by Hales. For part of her time as Young Women general president, Russell M.
