There was no mention of Mrs Wright teaching at Menominee High School in Menominee, Michigan back in the 1950's, but I recognized her picture before I even read her name in Saturday's obit. She was my former art teacher, and I've never forgotten her patience and kindness with me, because I had no artistic talent at all. She was a wonderful teacher, and all her students loved her. My sincere sympathy to all her family and friends.

Mrs. Wright was an art teacher at Menominee High School
many years ago - I was very fortunate in having her as an instructor at that time. Because of her love of art and enthusiastic teaching ability, art still remains a passion in my own life. My deepest sympathy to her loved ones - both family and friends.

We will always remember Carol for her kindness and caring nature. Memories of 4th of July holiday and parade. Her beautiful artwork. Looking through pictures of Davis vacations with the Usingers and seeing Mom, Carol and Arlene growing up together. I'm sorry we can't be there on Saturday but we are thinking of you all and sending our love.
