Theresa Wright Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Theresa Marie Wright, age 43, who left us peacefully on January 26, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Theresa was born on March 20, 1982, in Silver Spring, Maryland. She lived a life filled with kindness, laughter, and unwavering compassion. Theresa was a devoted daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, niece, and friend whose warmth touched everyone she met. Her generosity of spirit, quick wit, and radiant smile made the world brighter for those fortunate enough to know her.

Theresa dedicated her life to working hard and had strong work ethics throughout her career. Outside of her work, she found joy in spending time with family and friends. One of her favorite pastimes was learning how to cook with her mother, who was also her "best friend". Theresa cherished feeding her deer and spoiling any animal that was fortunate enough to cross her path.

She is survived by her mother, "Mickey" Patricia Bryan, father, Jess Bryan; sister, Justine Leeper (Tom), brother, Scott Walker (Anna), sister, Jessica Wright (Christopher); nieces and nephews: Danielle, Stephanie, Zachary, Andrew, Mitchell, Nick, Madison, and Benjamin; Aunt, Debby Wenner and cousin, Lois. Theresa's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Though her time with us was far too short, Theresa's love, light, and legacy will remain forever.

Her last gift to the world is that she was an organ donor, even in death she was still giving.

"Thank you for being a friend"

A celebration of Theresa's life will be held on March 20, 2026, for close family and friends (time and location will be shared later). In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to a charity of their choice.
