Mrs. Wright departed this life peacefully on April 15 at the Sac Osage Hospital in Osceola after a lengthy illness. She and her five brothers and sisters grew up within walking distance in the shadow of Wright's Creek Baptist Church. When she was 17 years of age, she was saved in the summertime revival, at the afternoon service, at the "Mourner's Bench" in the Wright's Creek Baptist Church. She described it as a "very happy day". She described with great clarity this 'time and place' in her life as late as Monday night, April 1, when she entered the hospital for the last time. Her final words on the subject were, "Everything is OK". The revival was held by C.J. Bybee. She joined the Wright's Creek Baptist Church just before the beginning of World War II. In 2004 she joined the Sharon Baptist Church in Lowry City and was a member until her death. One of the joys of her recent life, as related to her niece, was being able to go to church as long as her health allowed and sit under the gospel she had heard when a child as preached now by her nephew, Elder J.C. Baker. After her years of childhood where she attended school at Wright's Creek, as World War II drew nigh, she went to Kansas City with four of her cousins to work at the Pratt Whitney Company. She worked on an assembly line to build parts that fitted into the tail section of warplanes. She advanced and became a mail and parts courier and would move around the plant on roller skates to deliver assembly parts to different lines. She took pride in this as only a few were chosen for this particular job. She later worked 26 years for the National Bellas Hess Mail Order Company until it closed. She later worked for White Publishing Company as a print setter. She retired in 1980 and moved to Clinton and cared for her mother and brother until their deaths. The last five years, she had been a resident ot Truman Lake Manor at Lowry City. Mrs. Wright preceded in death by her parents, her three brothers; Ralph, Melvin and Howard Wright and her two sisters, Ethyl Artz and Ada Baker. Mrs. Wright is survived by five nephews; four nieces; two sisters in law. Services were held April 19 at the Sharon Baptist Church with interment followed at the Wright's Creek Cemetery, Lowry City. Arrangements by Sheldon-Goodrich Funeral Home, Osceola.
