George Wright Obituary

George W. Wright Our Loving Dad, George W. Wright, 84, of Tucson, passed away March 29, 2012. George was born on March 24, 1928 in Patterson, NJ. He served in the Navy as a Seabee during WWII. George and his wife, Ellen moved to Tucson in January of 1949. George worked as a letter carrier in Tucson until his retirement from the Post Office in 1989. George was very expressive with the Christmas holiday, where he decorated his house in Tucson to make one feel as if they were a kid at the North Pole. George's one passion in life was horses. He loved both riding and teaching. Ellen, his wife of 44 years, preceded him in 1993. George is survived by his four sons, James A. (wife, Patricia) Tucson, Robert W. (wife, Dawn) The Dalles, OR., George A. (wife, Lela) Casa Grande and Dale W., Tucson: his daughter, Linda Wright-Howser, Tucson and his partner, Virginia Kidder, Casa Grande and her children. Survivors also include 21 grandchildren, 39 great- grandchildren and one great- great-grandchild. Visitation will be held at FUNERARIA DEL ANGEL SOUTH LAWN, Saturday, April 7, 2012 at 10:00 a.m., followed by gravesite services and reception.

Hello, was so sorry to hear of Georges passing, and also that Ellen had passed in 1993. George and Ellen were mine and my sisters Godparents in 1958 and friends of my parents James and Ellen Mackey. We lived on Rosemont Blvd. I was just thinking about you all the other day and thought I'd look you up and found this obituary page. Anyway, just wanted to leave my condolences. I enjoyed looking at all your photos of George, he looks like he was a lovely man and lots of fun. Hope you are all well. Best wishes, Jane x

My sincere condolences to George's family. We lived on Lee Street by George and Ellen in the 50's. They had the first TV and would invite us to come over to watch wresting. George, Ellen, and my Mom and Dad remained friends. When my younger brother passed away unexpectedly about 10 years ago, George came to his services. He had been keeping in touch with my late mother, which she enjoyed very much. She always talked about his Christmas decorations. Since our retun to Tucson upon retirement, we had exchanged cards with George. I will miss hearing from him but will remember our fun times. Keeping you all in my prayers. Marsha (Yates) Banta

My sympathies to the family. And to Virginia, take care of yourself. It was a pleasure caring for George, and we would have many a long conversation about life in general.
I enjoyed listening to his stories, experiences and about his Christmas decorations.
