Leona Wright Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of beloved Leona May Wright. Leona was born May 27, 1943 in Tracy Missouri to father William Pace and mother Florence Mable Tate. Leona grew up in Tracy Missouri. She moved away from Tracy at age 18 and moved to Parkville Missouri. Where she lived and gave birth to her 4 children who she loved dearly. She then soon after moved to Archie Missouri and met Billy Wright, who married in 1981 at a small courthouse ceremony. They then moved to Northern Kansas City Missouri and lived where they shared their life for 25 years while also raising their youngest daughter. Leona and her husband frequented and lived briefly in Warsaw Missouri and enjoyed trips to Las Vegas Nevada. In her free time Leona enjoyed sewing, crosswords and puzzles. Leona loved raising children and loved being a wife, mother and home maker and driving her school bus. In her spare time she would frequently visit family or the casino. Leona leaves a lasting impact on so many lives and would never shy away from speaking her mind if she felt the need. She loved to laugh and lit up a room with her smile. She is preceded in death by her parents, William and Florence. Also by her siblings, Everett, David, Donald, Bill, John, and Delvena. She is also preceded by her son, Donald Wayne and her husband Billy. Leona sadly leaves behind many beloved family members. Among them are her children, Mary Pace, Robert Daniels (wife Eileen), Alberta Archer (husband Steve), Andrew Daniels (wife Twanna), and Kristina Mills (husband Shane). She also leaves behind grandchildren, David Brown, Stacy Hoppert, Heather Motta, Mercedes Daniels, Colt Daniels, Joseph Wright, Florence Vega, Keona Wright, Tyler Wright, Nicholas Mills, and Mishayla Mills. She also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. For Leona her huge family was everything.
