Patricia Anne Wright, born on January 12, 1930, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2025, in Riverview, Michigan, at the age of 95.

Patricia was a devoted homemaker who dedicated her life to her family and she cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. In her leisure time, Patricia found joy in playing bingo and cards, activities that brought her much happiness and camaraderie. In her younger years, she was an avid baker, making memories with her delicious baked goods.

Patricia was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 47 years, James G. Wright; her great-granddaughter, Addie; and her brothers, Harry, Carl, James, and Tom.

She is survived by her eight loving children: Carol (Joe) Tobkin, David (Christine) Wright, Ed (Penelope) Wright, Linda (Rick) Leyland, Ken Wright, Kathy (Bill) Nelson, Jim (Elizabeth) Wright, and Mike (Jackie) Wright. Patricia's legacy continues through her 13 cherished grandchildren: Jennifer, Jeffrey (Megan), Eddie, Angie, Ryan (Jessica), Tanya (Ricky), Melissa (Bryan), Kim (Troy), Brad, Brittany, Shanna (Jeremie), Dana (Ian), and James (Sarah); and her 15 adored great-grandchildren: Grayson, Sawyer, Max, Beckett, Everly, Billy, Connor, Carter, Lola, Camden, Landon, Samantha, Brendan, David, and Beatrice. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Jean, Gail, and Judy, who held a special place in her heart.
