Born July 31, 1929, in Cleveland, she lived in Chesterland and Ellenton, FL before moving to Manatee, FL four years ago. Cherished by those who knew her, Mary Lou found steady joy in the simple, enduring gifts of time well spent. She loved playing golf and, most of all, spending time with her grandkids.
Mary Lou is survived by her sons Robert (Hope) Wright, Richard (Sharon) Wright, James (Helga) Wright, and Gregg (Irene) Wright; twenty grandchildren; and forty great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husbands Robert R. Wright and Arthur Colbow; and son William “Bill” Wright.
Private services and interment at Knollwood Cemetery.
