Renee Wright Obituary
A memorial service will be held Wednesday, August 2, 2023 in the Wilkerson Funeral Chapel. The family will receive friends following the service at the funeral home.
Renee was born and raised in Pensacola, FL before moving to Virginia Beach, VA, where she met and married the love of her life, the late Varel Orlando Wright. She lived much of her adult life in the Greenville area, where she worked for Greenville Utilities in Customer Service and Accounting until her retirement. She was also a faithful member of the Winterville Church of Christ. Renee was active in the community and enjoyed volunteering with the Pitt County Sheriff's Department and the Pitt County Council on Aging. She had a big heart and was always willing to help others and to earnestly talk with them about their problems and needs. Renee enjoyed sewing, shopping with friends, and most importantly, travelling and spending time with her grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, Renee was preceded in death by her father, George Edward Jackson.
She is survived by her sons, Austin Wright and wife, Alicia, and Orlando Wright and wife, Meriah; grandchildren, Lillian Wright and Ransome Wright; mother, Bessie Jackson; sisters, Delceter Goosby, Priscilla Jackson, Donna-Ray Jackson, and Arista Jackson; a brother, Henry Jackson; numerous beloved nieces and nephews; and a host of other family and friends.

I worked with Renee at Greenville Utilities. A nice person to work with. I saw a write up in the GUCO Spotlight book today and that is when I read about her passing. God blessing to the family and friends

Such a ray of sunshine! Renee will truly be missed! From the time I met her & became her hair stylist she's down morning but a pure heart & genuine love! I lost my son to a car accident last month & Renee consistently called to encourage & check on me. She told me not to worry because her husband would look after my son in heaven. My condolences to the family & friends. My prayers are with you!

Troy and I send our sincere condolences and prayers to Austin, Oj, and the entire family. Ms. Renee was a jewel and received me with open arms from the first time I met her at Austin´s college grad party. She was always willing to do anything she could for you. Such a beautiful woman, inside and out. Ms. Renee will be greatly missed.

I was deeply saddened to hear about your mother´s passing. Thinking of two beautiful sons Austin and OJ, because I know your mother loved you both dearly. Renee will be missed, but not forgotten. My prayer is that the loving memories of your mother will help you all find peace. Much love and prayers.
