Mrs. Wright spent her formative years in Dayton, graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1958. She dedicated thirty years of service to Dayton Public Schools, where she touched countless lives with her warmth, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to education.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 31 years, Arthur Thomas Wright, and her brothers: Malcolm David Robinson, Sr., Richard Lewis Robinson, Jr., and Michael Joseph Robinson, Sr.

She is survived by two sons: Arthur J. (Shusletta) Wright of Huntersville, North Carolina, and Kevin L. Wright of Trotwood, Ohio; one daughter, Lisa M. Wright of Dayton, Ohio; and six grandchildren.
