Mary Gwenette Wright, 82, of Lawton, Oklahoma passed away Monday May 2, 2022, here in Lawton.
Gwen was born January 6, 1940, in Carnegie, Oklahoma to Norris and Marie (Grubb) Scrudder. She graduated from Carnegie High School in 1958. Gwen married Don Wright the following year and enjoyed 61 years of joy and life before his death in 2020. She attended Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts where she received her Bachelor's in Education. She continued her education at Oklahoma University and received her master's degree. She began her elementary teaching career in Verden, Oklahoma where she taught for 2 years. She then moved to the Lawton Public Schools where she taught 24 years until her retirement in 1992.
She loved her Lord and Savior and was a very active member of First Baptist West, serving in various positions through the years. She enjoyed playing the piano, cooking (which she was well known for), sewing, RVing with her husband, and spending time with family. She considered the best day of her life was when she became a Granny.
