Ima Jean Wright

Jean was born October 10, 1941, in Savanah, Tennessee. She came home from the hospital as ‘baby girl Phillips’ because her parents could not decide on a name. Her family moved to Carlsbad, New Mexico before she started second grade and she graduated from Carlsbad High School. Jean married her high school sweetheart, Hadley Wright, in June of 1959, one week after graduation; she and Hadley were married for 51 years.

She was proceeded in death by her husband, Hadley Wright, her parents Elmer and Robbie Phillips, her Step-Father Eugene Brooks and her in-laws David and Georgia Mae Wright. She is survived by her two daughters and son-in-laws, Laura and Fred Simmank of The Woodlands, TX and Liz and Dave Francis of Deer Park, TX, one grandson, two granddaughters, and three great-grandsons (one more on the way!). Also, her brother and Sister in-law, James and Irma Phillips, of Concho, Arizona and nephew Jimmy Phillips of Chandler, Arizona. Jean retired from the City of Lake Jackson after 30 years of service and her hobbies included reading, going to exercise class with her friends and watching the latest sit-coms on TV.

The family would like to offer a special thanks to Grace Hospice of Texas, Mary, Gloria and Denise you hold a special place in our hearts, and to the caregivers from Right at Home. Many ladies cared for Mom over the past four years, and all were special and cared for Mom their own unique way. Feebee and Rose were with Mom over 4 years and were very dear to here and the family appreciates all their love and care.

Service will be led by her nephew, Jimmy Phillips.
