Helen E. Wright, aged 90, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family April 23rd, 2022. Daughter of Clarence and Irma Olt of Dayton, Ohio. She attended Roosevelt High School in Dayton, Ohio and went on to marry Herbert L. Wright in 1950. A cherished, loving, supportive mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She took delight in chaperoning many field trips and attending many sporting events for children and grand-children over the years.
She loved spending time with her mother and sisters. Helen had a smile that will always be remembered. She became fiercely independent after the passing of her beloved husband Herbie and continued to live on her own for another 36 years.
While she enjoyed her daily morning routine of coffee and donuts, she mostly loved the modern convenience of microwave cooking. However, her recipe for macaroni salad is legendary.
Our memories of you will always be cherished.
Helen is survived by her caring children, Dennis L. Wright, Donald L. Wright, Debora K. Wright, and Donna (Craig) J. Schulz; her grandchildren, Erin (Brian) Smith, Mitchell (Christine) Malott, Kyle (Jessica) Wright, and Corey Schulz; her great-grandchildren, Kayleigh, Emily, Barrett, Ellenore, and Colton; her sisters, Barbara (John) Reid and Nancy (Robert) Johnson and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, Herbert L. Wright and her parents, Irma Spalding and Clarence Olt.
We will remember you for more than your macaroni salad.
