RACHEL R. WRIGHT
1928 - 2015
FAIRFIELD - It is with great sadness that the family of Rachel Rose Wright, age 86, of Fairfield announces her passing on Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2015.
Rachel was born in Ellsworth on Dec. 29, 1928, the daughter of Pauline and John Rose. She graduated from Cony High School in 1946. After graduating she worked for a time at the local telephone company.
She married David A Wright in 1951 in Fairfield whereupon they took up residence on the Bellsqueeze Rd. in Clinton. Rachel lived at that same location for over 60 years where she enjoyed the longtime friendship of her neighbors. She was also extremely fond of her herb garden at her Clinton home, tending to it into her 80s.
She worked for a time at the Clinton Brown Memorial Library and was longtime member of the Brown Memorial United Methodist Church as well as the Order of the Eastern Star. In her earlier years Rachel enjoyed collecting antiques and could often be found with her husband at local auctions. She never lost her love for Maine's rocky coastline where she was raised, enjoying an ocean side road trip whenever possible.
Recently she moved to Island Apartments in Fairfield where she was quick to acquire new friends.
Generous to a fault, and loving by nature, Rachel would often greet you with a big hug. Her affectionate personality will be missed by all who knew her. A proud woman by nature, one of her greatest wishes in life was to maintain the ability to live independently in her latter years. We are heartened to know that she achieved that goal.
A special thanks to the medical staff at Maine General Hospital for their compassionate care in Rachel's time of need.
Rachel was predeceased by her husband, David A Wright. She is survived by siblings, Jackie Rose of Kennebunkport, Paula Caldwell and her husband, Richard of Gorham; her children, David J Wright of Brighton Plantation, Michael Wright and wife, Dorene of South Portland, Stepdaughter, Patricia Pellegrino and husband, Richard of Pittsfield; grandchildren Jennipher Smith, Timothy Wright, and Dustin Wright; as well as great-grandchildren Abigail, Alyssa, Memphis and Rece. She treasured them all.
At Rachel's request there will be no visiting hours or funeral service. A graveside service and celebration of Rachel's life will be held in the spring at the convenience of the family.
Arrangements under the care and direction of Dan & Scott's Cremation & Funeral Service, 445 Waterville Road, Skowhegan.
"If I should go before
the rest of you
Break not a flower nor
inscribe a stone,
Nor when I'm gone speak
in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that
I have known.
Weep if you must, Parting is hell,
But Life goes on, So sing as well." - See more at: http://obituaries.centralmaine.com/obituaries/mainetoday-centralmaine/obituary.aspx?n=rachel-rose-wright&pid=177061242&fhid=29092#sthash.Gc8Y8aZM.dpuf
