LORA WRIGHT Obituary
She was born in China, the daughter of William and Lora (Pomeroy) Bean. She graduated from Cony High School and attended Mid-State Business College, both in Augusta.
While in high school, she worked on the family farm and delivered milk to 40 customers. She lived for a short time in California and Pennsylvania where she worked as a nanny. When she returned to Maine she worked for the state of Maine in various secretarial and clerical positions. She was registrar of voters for the town of Sidney for many years.
She married Roger B. Wright on Dec. 18, 1954, and was married for 51 years. Together they raised four children.
She was affiliated and held various offices in the Sidney Grange, Cascade Grange, the Eastern Star, Order of the Amaranth, and the Grand Court of O of A.
Her happiest times were when driving and camping in the motor home she shared with her husband. She was a charter member of the Down Easters, the first chapter of Good Sam RV Club. She was also a member of the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary for many years.
She was predeceased by her husband, her parents, and three brothers.
She leaves behind her daughter, Patricia Cunningham and husband Douglas, of Sidney; three sons, Wayne Wright and wife Mun, of La Grange, N.C., Scott Wright, of Sidney, and Glenn Wright, of Augusta. She also leaves six grandchildren, Shawn, Matthew, Deborah, Tim, Faith and Lora A.; and six great-grandchildren. She loved all of them more than they will ever know. She is also survived by her sister, Priscilla Rancourt; brother George Bean, and many nieces and nephews.
At her request, there will be a simple graveside remembrance for the family on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Lora's name to Health Reach Hospice, P.O. Box 828, Waterville 04903-0828.

To the Wright family,
Your mom was a wonderful lady who always had a smile on her face! Although I have not seen her for years, I can still see that image of her contageous smile. A sign of success is when you have a great finished product and she and your dad did a great job in "raising you up".
Know you are in our prayers. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Many Hugs,
Kevin O'Leary and family

The last time I saw Laura was at The Great Wall, where the gals in the Class of '46 met for lunch. We all had such a good time. My condolences to her family I'm sure she will be missed by many.

I remember Lora as a very friendly, kind person who made me feel that I had known her for years. She and Roger raised four great children, most of whom I had in school. My condolences to the family.
