Karen N. Wright

Karen Nalani Wright was born on April 4, 1950 to Leslie Madison and Mae Lee Wright. Growing up in Manoa Valley, she attended Manoa Elementary, Stevenson Intermediate and Roosevelt High School until she was accepted into the Kamehameha School for Girls. She graduated in 1968 and then pursued her interest in biology at Leeward Community College, eventually going to work at Sears and Roebuck where she worked for 15 yrs. Ever the seeker, Karen found and fell in love with Jesus receiving Him as her Lord and Savior in 1980. She entered the ministry with the Assemblies of God as a Children's Pastor. She served in the Assemblies of God for 20 yrs. After retiring from the church, Karen then put her administrative expertise to work as the wedding coordinator at Kawaiaha'o Church. There she continued to minister to fellow workers, congregants and wedding couples.
Karen loved children and was the consummate "aunty" to her 3 nieces and nephew. Birthdays, Christmas, movie nights or just goofing around Aunty was always there.
In the early morning hours of May 23rd, Jesus came to take our beloved Aunty home. Our hearts are assured that her earthly assignment is done and that now she is rejoicing in heaven with her Heavenly Father. Karen was a good and industrious Godly woman who had run her race with love, joy and endurance. Well done, good and faithful servant.
