Patricia Sowell Wright

Born on June 27, 1950 in Lynchburg, she was the daughter of the late Robert W. and Margaret L. Sowell. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her husband, Clarence “Funky” Owen Wright.

Patsy loved arts and crafts and was known for making beautiful wreaths, especially at Christmas. She loved anything that had to do with Christmas and always made it special for her family. She loved going to the movies with her family and friends and she was an avid Gnome collector (having hundreds to be exact).

She is survived by her children, Crystal Wright, David Whitmore (Theresa), Scott Wright, and Corey Wright (Melissa); grandchildren, Jocelyn Boyd, Brittany Whitmore, Tyler Whitmore, Chris Wright, Corey Wright Jr. (Brooke), Hilary Wingfield, Kim Shaner (Joel); eight great grandchildren; and her siblings, Vanessa Williams (Harry), Eva Morris (Ronnie), Susan Sowell and Tim Sowell (Lisa).

Special thanks to Delta Crew Garrett Robey and Ashton Ware.
