Seabrook NH - Paula Foye (Wright), 81 entered into eternal rest Wednesday May 22nd, 2024, surrounded by her children.
Born and raised in Peabody Massachusetts, she was a lifelong resident of Peabody living in Gardner Park until moving to the seacoast of Seabrook NH in 2020. Paula was a graduate of Peabody High School in 1960.
Paula was the cherished daughter of Donald and Nesta Foye, and the sister to her brothers, Dana, and Charles Foye, who both held a special place in her heart.
Paula was also a caring mother who dedicated her life to her family, serving as a devoted "domestic engineer." She managed her household with grace and focused care, for her three children, Dana Wright, (Atlanta, GA), Todd Wright (Manhattan Beach, CA) and Bethany Wright (Beverly MA). She continuously made sure her children had the best environments to succeed, which focused on home, education and deeply rooted in family traditions.
Paula passed with her heart full of pride for her six grandchildren Jacob, Zachary, Aidan, Hannah, Abigail, and Chance, as well as two wonderful daughter- in- laws, Angela Wright, and Kate Wright.
Paula also went on to work at the former Village Green in Danvers for 13 years where she retired in 2007. She was a continual learner and loved reading on holistic development of the spirit, mind, and body.
Paula was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Paula's legacy of love, kindness, and dedication will live on through her children and all who knew her. Paula will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Please join us for a celebration of life on Sunday July 14th, 1:30 pm at South Congregational Church, 60 Prospect St, Peabody MA 01960 on Sunday. There will be a gathering post ceremony with refreshments.

Mom was always focused and committed to raising her kids with the best care. She sacrified her life to her family and gave us a wealth of memories that we will never forget. She may have show us "tough love" at times but , we always knew that she had your back. We are who we are today because of her. Miss you mom... see in down the road where the sun always shines.

Her soul truly was "one of a kind". Always quick with a comforting and usually quite witty word of wisdom when you needed it most. She knew how to make you feel like you truly mattered. Enjoyed our Seabrook visits and wish we had more time together. You will always be in our hearts and watching over all those who were lucky enough to know you.
