In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Gregory Wright; great-grandson, Grayson Marshall Garn; and all her siblings.

Her family will receive friends on Friday, December 26, 2025, from 1 - 5 p.m. at Chamberlain-Huckeriede Funeral Home, Lima. The funeral service will follow at 5 p.m. Pastor Gary Hohman will officiate.
