Obituaries


 

Patricia G. Wright

 

Patricia G. Wright passed peacefully at St Luke’s Anderson Hospital, Easton, PA on September 29, 2013, surrounded by the family she loved so dearly.

 

She was predeceased by her parents, brother, and husband, Harold M. Wright. She is survived by her children: Allen M Wright of Boston, Ma; Carol Lynn Wright of Center Valley, PA; Barbara Wright  of the NH Seacoast; and William M Wright of Winston-Salem, NC. She also leaves 4 grandchildren in whom she took great pride: Emily Patricia Wright Murphy of Poolesville, Maryland; Geoffrey Murphy of New York, NY; Elizabeth Wright Weeks of Rochester, NH; and Stephen Wright-Eaton of Portland, Maine.

 

Her accomplishments were many. She was salutatorian of her high school class, graduating at the age of 16. She attended Macalester College on an academic scholarship, and met her future husband while working for the Army Air Corps at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, following World War II. She was also a Past Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, Sunday school teacher, and Red Cross volunteer.  She considered her greatest accomplishment, however, to be raising four children whom she felt were positive contributors to the world.

 

Although her intellect and gifts equipped her to have an illustrious career, she chose to devote her life to shining the spotlight on those around her, and allowing them to achieve their potential. She loyally supported her husband’s career, enabling him to contribute to the world as a pioneer in rocket science. She supported her children’s education and interests, providing lessons and opportunities, and ensuring their needs were met. She helped those less fortunate, and was kind to all she met.

 

Her hallmarks were her sense of joy, and the gentle, loving, and kind way in which she interacted with those around her. She had a sweet, gentle soul and a keen sense of humor. She made those around her happier, just by being in her presence.

 

She will be dearly missed, but her light lives on in the many lives she touched. She made the world a better place, and her belief is that she will be going to a better place. May she rest in peace, and the joy she brought to the world live on.
