Dies at the age of 59 in a bus accident on the way to her grandchild's graduation in 1956. ;Hal Moores :The warden at Cold Mountain Penitentiary.

She dies of a heart attack ten years later.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=v-IoDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA482 Page 482: 'She died—of a heart attack, not a brain tumor—ten or eleven years later']</ref> ;Curtis Anderson :The assistant warden. ;Dean Stanton :A guard on E Block who is strangled and nearly killed by William Wharton. A father of young children, Paul ensures he takes no part in the taking of John Coffey to Melinda Moores due to the risk of losing his job. He applies for relocation to C Block after John Coffey's death, where he is murdered by an inmate four months later. ;Harry Terwilliger :One of the main guards on E Block along with his friends Paul Edgecombe, Brutus Howell and Dean Stanton. He eventually dies of cancer in 1982, 50 years after John Coffey's execution. ;Bill Dodge :A "floater" guard on E Block (not permanently assigned there). ;Jack Van Hay :A guard who is part of the execution team. He operates the switch room. ;Toot-Toot :A trustee who stands in for the condemned during execution rehearsals and sells snacks to prisoners and guards. ;Burt Hammersmith :A reporter who wrote on the Detterick twins' murders and John Coffey's trial. Despite believing himself to be an "[[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]]" man, he displays prejudice in his stance on "Negroes" and tries to convince Paul of John Coffey's guilt. ;Elaine Connelly :A friend of Paul in the present-day nursing home where he tells his story. She is later revealed to be the grandmother of the Speaker of the [[Georgia House of Representatives]] and uses her influence to prevent Brad Dolan from harassing Paul.

While displaying strong doubt about Coffey's guilt after being shown signs of innocence by Paul Edgecombe, he is still powerless to call for an appeal as he is subordinate to Sheriff Cribus, whom he allegedly hopes to succeed. ;Brad Dolan :A malicious nursing home employee who harasses Paul Edgecombe.
