Ella Mae and JB were my 2nd parents back in the day. I will always be grateful for that. One can never forget an Ella Mae laugh!!! So full of life and love. To this day I can see her in the cabin on Norris Damn making biscuits and drinking a bloody mary!!! I have wonderful memories of the Wright family, they were our neighbors and good friends. Our parents enjoyed a good life together and I will love them always. Ella Mae, you just made life better for everyone!!!!

Dear David & family,

We were sad to hear about your sweet Mother; at the same time, as always, we  were glad to get to see you on Thursday in person. We were unable to attend the service, but always know our hearts were there with you. May you and your family  be surrounded for many days to come by the love and comfort of so many people who know and love you all.  Always remember wherever we are, we keep you close at heart and are here for you. Sending our love to you and your family.


Ella Mae was my step grandmother.  She was one of the kindest women I have known and I am very thankful for all the wonderful memories I have of her.  She led a wonderful life and I am sure she is thrilled to be reunited with J.B.  I am sorry that Jill and I can't be there to say goodbye but I am sure she will be surrounded by family and friends just as she would have wanted.

We love you Ella Mae,

Jerry and Jill Kelley



We have many happy memories with Ella Mae (and  J.B.) over the years.  We are so sorry to hear of her passing, and wish we could attend her final services.
Ella Mae will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Catfishman, Donna and Robin, so blessed to have known this wonderful lady who watched me and my children, Katie and TJ grow up. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face, a witty comment and warmth from her smiling eyes.  I know you will miss her. But I know she will be waiting for each one of you with her contagious smile and warmth. 

David and family, my deepest sympathy to you!   

I wish I had known Mrs. Wright my entire life.  When Steve and I moved to Shore Loop and met her, she reminded me so much of my own great-grandmother.  I am sure she was a force to be reckoned with in her early years.  She was kindhearted and spunky for her years.  If I am to be on this earth for 101 years, I hope people will remember me to be much like Mrs. Wright.  Our condolences to the family. 

Ella Mae loved to tell the story about the Chess pie and two ladies that came thru the cafeteria line one evening.  The First Lady chose a piece of Chess pie for dessert, the second lady replied quickly "Oh no, not that one.  Here, take this one; it has more Chesses in it."  No matter how many times she told this story it brought gales of laughter from all.  I love this dear sweet lady and her husband, J.B.  They were full of fun and laughter and, would do anything for a friend.  I am so very blessed to be able to have known them both and be called friend.  I will miss them until we meet again.  "Love you doll."
