With hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate the life and homegoing of
Patsy Wright, a faithful servant of God, a devoted daughter, and a beloved member
of her family and community.
Patsy was educated in the Terrell Independent School District, where she completed
her schooling. From an early age, Patsy dedicated herself to serving others, and
she carried that spirit throughout her life. She was a woman of God, full of grace
and mercy, who treated everyone she met as family.
Known for her warm hospitality and her unmatched gift in the kitchen, Patsy
blessed many with her famous tea cakes and delicious enchiladas. Her hands not
only fed the body but also poured love and comfort into all who shared her table.
Patsy was the cherished daughter of the late Clara Wright-smith and Leon Wright,
and the treasured granddaughter of Zadie Holliness. She leaves to cherish her
memories: her loving cousin Bruce Heckard (Vee) of Tyler, her aunt Mark Estelle of
Forney, Texas, and her uncle Burney James Holliness.
Patsy was especially blessed to be cared for with extraordinary love and devotion
by Bruce Heckard and Vicki Anderson, whose tender care and selfless dedication
ensured she was surrounded by comfort and dignity throughout her journey. Their
compassion reflected the very heart of Christ.
Awaiting her in glory are her beloved parents, Leon Wright and Clara Wright, and
her grandmother, Zadie HOLLINESS, AN array of aunts, uncles and cousins who
welcomed her with open arms at the gates of Heaven.
Though our hearts will miss her, we rejoice knowing she has heard the words:
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Matthew 25:23. Her legacy of love, faith, and family — and the example of care shown by those who stood beside her — will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
