Madeline WRIGHT Obituary
July 12, 1925 – September 14, 2016
St-Lazare, Quebec
On September 14, 2016 a wondrous force of nature, Madeline Holland Wright, peacefully took her last breath at the great age of 91 years. Madeline was born the oldest to a big Irish family of 11 children in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her love of the sea and her Maritime roots were a great source of pride to her throughout her life. At the age of 24 she moved to Montreal in search of fame and fortune; where she met the love of her life, Norm. They married in 1952. She was blessed with a wicked sense of humour, sharp wit and fierce dedication and love for her family. She owned and ran a wool/knitting store in Hudson, Quebec for many years where she loved to meet and talk with her customers from far and wide. She was a voracious reader and loved working in her garden. In her retirement years she lovingly and masterfully knit and supplied many garments to keep the preemies warm at the Montreal Children's Hospital. Beloved wife and best friend for 60 years to predeceased Norman Wright, Madeline is survived by her two children, Patricia (St Lazare), Rick and his wife Elizabeth Stom (Ottawa); her grandchildren, Danika, Rebecca, Nikolaas, Alexander, Ellyce, Nathaniel and her great-granddaughters, Caleigh Elizabeth, Azalea Grace and Olivia-Holland. She is survived by her one sister Virginia Holland, brothers and sister-in-law John and Sheila Wright (Florida) and Keith Wright (St Lazare); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. A memorial mass to celebrate her life will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Hudson, Quebec at a later date. Please contact her daughter Patricia Wright for further details: [email protected].
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand…
