Obituary

Mary A. Wright, 97, of Lincoln, IL, passed away on Monday, January 13, 2025, at Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

Mary was born August 16, 1927, in Bement, IL, the daughter of Joe and Ethel (Roche) Denney. She married William Thomas ‘Bill” Wright on May 7, 1947, in Lincoln, IL. He preceded her in death in 1990.

Mary is survived by her daughters, Linda Wright and Cathy (John) Roche; four grandchildren, Christine (Josh) Short, Tricia (Jeremy) Bress, Michelle (Danny) Fletcher, and John William (Cassie) Roche; and nine great-grandchildren with one more on the way.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Bill; one brother, Charles Denney; and three sisters, Josephine Leesman, Marjorie Osborn, and Emily Hickey. Mary was the last of her immediate family.

Mary and Bill were devout members of Holy Family Catholic Church. She was a homemaker and loving wife to Bill for 43 years. In later years, Mary always looked forward to dining out and most of all spending time with her family.
