On a cold winter's day, February 14, 1939, God delighted Thomas Well & Lillian Blanche Dimmitt-Wright with the special gift of light in the birth of their first child, Edythe Ola Wright, in Indianapolis, IN. A gift that came out feet first and ready to walk in her purpose of being the light of the world.
Edythe's light was experienced by everyone that had ever crossed her path; whether it be from her presence and involvement in her siblings upbringing when she walked the halls of Howell High School as one of the first African Americans ever to attend, and in the major role she played as mother and grandmother of which she was very protective.
Edythe was simply the epitome of class, beauty, elegance and excellence in all that she did in life. Her very presence exemplified a dignified grace that engendered a certain contagion that inspired others to look towards her light for guidance. Her delicate attention to detail in providing love and care for her family, her meticulous thoughtfulness in how she presented herself and her home at all times.
In the mid 1950's she married Howard James Majors II (later married John Tanner) and the couple bore four children, Howard III "Sonny", Jeffery, Cheryl and Thomas. she raised them and all her grandchildren to have a sense of dignity and pride, know their worth and keep a clean house. she wanted the very best for her family and the example was set and exhibited through her strength, posture and light.
On July 11 2022, she joined her parents and sons, Sonny and Tony and the rest of the ancestors in that Great Cloud of Witnesses. she passes the torch to her son and daughter, Jeffery and Cheryl and her grandchildren to continue the work of being the Light of the world
A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday July 23, 2022 at 12 noon at Jerusalem Temple Apostolic Church, 2125 E. 54th Street, Indianapolis, IN, with visitation there from 10 am until time of service at 12 noon.
