Mildred Wright Obituary
Mildred J. Wright, age 99, of Michigan City, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2022, at Franciscan Health Michigan City.
Mildred was born on July 5, 1922, in Beardstown, Illinois, to Glen and Nettie Steele. She moved with her family to Michigan City when she was 4 years old. She met and married the love of her life, Elwyn "Bud" Wright, in 1940.
Mildred was an office manager at a few local doctor's offices and volunteered with Harbor Light Hospice. She was an avid golfer, bowler and loved playing cards with her close gal pals.
She never missed an episode of "Wheel of Fortune" and had an incredible green thumb, spending countless hours in her beloved garden. Mildred was also a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Elks Lodge in Michigan City.
Mildred is survived by her children, Linda (Bob) Leich of Bloomfield, Michigan, and David Wright of Michigan City; granddaughters, Lisa, Angela, Rhonda, Wendy, Kristen, Kerri and Brandi; 19 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Elwyn "Bud"; parents, Glen and Nettie; son, Ronald Wright; one great-grandchild; and one great-great-grandchild.
Per Mildred's wishes, funeral services will not take place, but a Celebration of Life will take place this summer on what would have been her 100th birthday.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Geisen-Carlisle Funeral Home, 613 Washington St., Michigan City, IN, 46360.

Grandma we were so lucky to have been loved by you. You were always smiling and enjoying life and being with family and friends. Your heart would win anyone over. So many wonderful memories of our times spent visiting you. Your hugs were the best and I always knew how our phone calls would end "give Dan a hug from me and then tell him to give you a hug from me." We love you and will miss you till we see you again .
