Barbara J. Wright

Barbara J. Wright, 88, of Charlotte, passed away July 28, 2018.  She was born on June 20, 1930 to Howard O. and Jessie M (Perry) Boyd in Vermontville.   She was an only child, so she was delighted to have the instant addition of siblings to her life when she married Dewayne Wright.  She took her job as a homemaker and mother very seriously, and was very proud of her husband, children, and grandchildren.  She loved conversations, whether at coffee time with her McDonald’s friends, or her fellow genealogical society members; she loved to talk.  She enjoyed sewing, knitting, crafts and traveling all over the country.  Barbara would say she never met a person she didn’t like.  She enjoyed her time searching with the Vermontville Historical Society and Eaton County Genealogical Society with efforts to preserve the stories and items collected.

Barb is survived by her children, Linda (Mike) Kenyon, Debra (Dave) Ressler, Cindy Rochester, Denise (Randy) Kendra; grandchildren, Sarah, Eli, Ross, Zachary, Kirby, Patrick, Lexi; eight great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Bonnie (Linton) Wright-Warner, Alice Edwards, Patty Butler; brothers-in-law, Larry (Patti) Wright, Raymond (Flossie) Grant.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Dewayne; son-in-law, Rick Rochester; grandson, J. Patrick; and her parents.
