Audrey Wright Obituary

Audrey Marie Wright was born July 17, 1926 in Flint, Michigan and died November 23, 2010 in San Pedro, California. Audrey worked many years for the city of Manhattan Beach as an executive secretary to the finance director. It was there that she met her husband, Bud Wright, then fire chief, to whom she was married 40 years. Audrey finished her working career in the medical field as an EEG technician. Audrey was an avid reader all of her life and could go through two or more books in a day. She enjoyed working in her yard and planting flowers. She loved spending time with her family, and was thrilled when her first grandson named his daughter after her. Audrey passed away at home after a lengthy illness. She is survived by her husband; daughters, Marcia Gordon and Bethany B. Hawkins; sons, John and Richard Bryan; three stepchildren, Linda Wright, Madeline Grant and Jim Wright; 14 grandchildren; and 3 great-grandchildren. A private family celebration of life will be held in the future. Please sign the guestbook at www.dailybreeze.com/obits.

Dear Mom,
My heart is broken, but I know that you are no longer in pain and you are with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty. This gives me a sense of peace.
You were one tough Lady! You had a great sense of humor. You were a great Mom - Nurturing, loving, supportive. I will treasure the memories...
Marcia and I are looking after Pops. No need to worry...
I love you and I will miss you too...

Aunt Audrey and the family were a big part of our lives growing up. Lots of memories... she was witty, funny, and very beautiful. She was a Benoit. Although I did not see her often over the years, I enjoyed our visits very much. We always got along well.

Aloha, Phil

Aunt Audrey,
I still remember my dad used to tell stories about about you guys as kids. And I remember visiting you back east when I was 9. And I remember when you brought the crew west. And remember your wedding to Bud. And so much more. I miss you, but you are in a good place now. Behave. Dan B.

As a teenager, I spent alot of time at Audrey and Bud's house in Manhattan Beach. Bethany was then and still is today a cherished friend of mine. I can still recall the day when I was at Audrey's house after coming home from school with Bethany. Audrey was always so receptive and hospitable towards me and looked at me that particular day and said, "my Ann, you look so lovely and have just blossomed into a young woman." i thought that was so kind of her and i felt she really cared about me as Bethany's good friend. My prayers are with Beth, Marcia and the boys and Bud as you learn to carry on with loving memories.

Chief,
Audrey was the Light of Your Life and I send my deepest sympathies and condolences to you and all the children. She will always be with you.

I didn't know her personally, but knew of her through my friend Marcia. She must have had a great sense of humor to bring up such a fun child. My special condolences to my friend and her family.

We lost mom just before Thanksgiving and, although we knew she had a critical illness, it was a shock to all of us to lose her then. Mom so loved the holidays and I know she wanted to celebrate them with us. Mom was my best friend and my life will never be the same again. Of course, it will go on, but it will have an empty place. She asked me if I would remember her when she was gone and think of her fondly, and I assured her that I would. Well, here I am mom: missing you, loving you, and thinking of you fondly!! Please give Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Bob, Aunt Betty and Aunt Vera a hug and kiss for me!! Also, now you will be able to play with all the dogs and cats that have gone on before us. I love you, your daughter, Marcia
