Jennie Lee Wright

Jennie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Known for her quiet strength, generous heart, and kind spirit, she touched the lives of all who knew her. She lived her life rooted in faith, guided by grace, and committed to loving and serving others.

As a loving mother her love knew no bounds. She was the heart of her family, an unyielding source of strength, grace, and nurturing support. She was a dedicated wife to her husband, Billy Paul, for 69 years, and together they created a home filled with faith, love, and laughter. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest pride, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Jennie was born on November 11, 1935, in Tuttle, Oklahoma, to Fred and Lora Bailey. Jennie was deeply

committed to education. She earned her undergraduate degree in Education from Texas Wesleyan University and later pursued a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling from Texas Woman’s University, graduating in May 1985. Jennie’s career as an educator was marked by a deep dedication to her students and a love for teaching that inspired many. She taught in the Birdville Independent School District and retired after 23 years.

Left behind to cherish her memory are her loving husband of 69 years, Billy Paul Wright; her two daughters, Paula Butts and husband Todd of Bedford, Texas, Kim Ford and husband Ron of Colleyville, Texas. She is also survived by four grandchildren: Chelsea Kennedy, Jacee Butts, Tanner Ford, and Westin Ford, along with her sister, Norma Steward of Haltom City, Texas.
