Clarie M. Wright, 100, of Chattanooga, died on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 in a local health care facility.
She was born Feb. 21, 1911 in Lauderdale, Ms. to her parents, Will P. and Lela Moore. She accepted Christ at an early age and joined Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
Clarie came to Chattanooga in the 1940s and married James Frank Wright. They were members of Union Hill Baptist Church with Pastor William H. Ryan. She was a Sunday School teacher and president of the Missionary Society.
