Sis Wright was a beautiful spirit and I loved her singing at Mt. Sinai. She will truly be missed. Praying for the family and continue to be encouraged!

Condolences to the Wright family. Sis. Wright was such an inspiration to me and my family. She made us realize that we had voices to praise The Lord and demanded that we used them. As she told my mother, Dear, "If you don't use it, you'll lose it." Thank you for sharing your mother with all if us. We will keep you in our prayers.
Arlette Ramsey-McFarland, and the Ramsey family.

I extend my sincerest condolences to the family.

My first memories of then Sister Wright was when we were all once members at Mt Zion Baptist Church. Down through the years, and as time and age can change our titles, it was always a blessing to see MOTHER WRIGHT and notice how she grew older gracefully and remained a beautiful woman of God.

I took joy in seeing her share her gifts with others and bless the Lord through her singing and playing the piano. Mother Wright will truly be missed, but never forgotten.

Praying for comfort for her family. May the wonderful memories you have give you peace.

It was hard for those of us who loved her, to just let her go,
but God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul. He met her at the gate to give her a tight and tender hold. Mrs. Wright, my Angel, you will remain in my heart forever.
Love Always,
Donna R. Adams

Our prayers and sympathy to the Wright Family. Mother Wright was a faithful and dedicated musician. May your hearts rejoice knowing that she is now up in heaven still praising the Lord with her beautiful musical talents. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
