"Anna suffered a cardiac arrest last week and passed away peacefully at lunch time yesterday surrounded by her immediate family.
"The family would like to thank the committed medical team at the Intensive Care Unit at Melbourne's Alfred Hospital and would now ask for privacy as they come to terms with their loss."
It is understood that Anna's death has devastated Green's former club. The Demons have offered their support to the family and will put a testimonial in Wednesday's newspaper.
