Erica Yvonne Wright (Scott), age 74, died at Hospice of Dayton on September 3, 2023. Her daughter was by her side as she finally took her rest from a long, hard fight after a traumatic car accident earlier this year. She was a strong woman of faith and found peace in knowing she would be reunited with her dear husband, Mark Nathan Wright, Sr. They were married for 52 years before his passing in 2019.

She will long be remembered for her culinary skills. It was her delight to cook alongside her husband as they prepared for the family at small events and big events like Thanksgiving dinner. She was famous for her lemon pound cakes and chocolate pound cakes; and it is no secret she sifted the cake flour SEVEN TIMES to make them melt in your mouth. Everyone loved her cheesecake, potato salad, and sparkling lemonade. Erica discovered and became an avid watcher of Korean dramas and detective series. She loved playing online puzzle games.
