Mary Inez Wright, 81, of Newnan, departed peacefully from the living on Saturday, December 13, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Mary was born in Coweta County on September 18, 1944 and was the daughter of the late Lennie and Blanche McCoy. She was the second of eight children: five brothers and two sisters. Mary was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, George; her brothers, Donald and Lennie; her sister, Janis; and her grandson, Joey Brinkley.

Through humble beginnings, Mary developed a strong work ethic and a deep devotion to the Lord. In 1959, Mary married George Wright. During their 51 years together, they brought four children into the world, Michael Wright, Robert Wright, Patricia Wright, and Darlene Anucci. In addition to her children, she is survived by her brothers, Bobby, James, and Bud; her sister, June; nine grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren. Mary led a happy and fulfilling life and left a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.

Funeral services will be held on Sunday, December 21, 2025 at 2:00 pm in the chapel of McKoon Funeral Home & Crematory, 38 Jackson St., Newnan, GA. The family will receive friends during the hour before the service from 1 - 2 pm.
