The star, affectionally known as Paddy, was the longest-running soap actress in the world - having made her debut as the loving but stern matriarch Jill Archer in the BBC Radio 4 soap in 1957.
The announcement said: "Jill Archer was famed for her baking, while her lemon drizzle was her signature it was her flapjack that made the headlines when she was arrested at a protest over food waste."
BBC Radio 4 controller Mohit Bakaya also praised Greene's "outstanding" contribution to the soap in a statement which read: "It has been a pleasure to hear her ever-evolving portrayal of Jill over the decades.
Actor Tim Bentinck starred alongside Greene for over four decades, as Jill's son David. Speaking to Radio Times, he paid a moving tribute to the woman he described as a "surrogate mother".
“Paddy played my mum for all of the 44 years I’ve been in the program," he began.
"If June Spencer [who voiced Peggy Woolley] was hailed as the Queen of Ambridge, then Paddy was quite definitely our eternal, funny and very naughty Princess!
"We will miss her terribly.”
"When I arrived at The Archers I quickly spotted there were two queens of Ambridge, two queens but poles apart – June, who reminded me of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and Paddy who reminded me of absolutely no one I had ever met. She was utterly singular, a fabulous and raucously funny raconteur, and like the best actors when on mic you were never quite sure how she would play a scene, but you knew she would play it brilliantly.
He continued: "In her formidable and beloved Jill Archer she became the longest continuously serving member of the cast. In my view she really came into her own once Phil died: no longer the wife, not really a widow, she was a forthright matriarch who never minced her words, was supremely judgemental, but wonderfully warm and loving.
