Sue (Ignatovich) Wright, 73 of Hancock, NY passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 8, 2018 at home.
Sue was born on August 23, 1944 in Newark, NJ to Frank and Gertrude Ignatovich. Raised in Lake Como, PA she spent most of her childhood on the farm with her Grandma Flannigan, Aunt Wish Flannigan and Uncle Tom Flannigan. Stories about her childhood were centered around the mischief she got into and work she did on the farm. A self-proclaimed tomboy, Sue would have loved to have been born of the generation where girls were given the athletic opportunities of todays young women.
Sue attended Hancock Central High School where she met the love of her life, Jim Wright. They were married on August 15, 1964 at St. Pauls Catholic Church. She and Jim were a fiercely independent and determined couple where Sue was the manager of the family. She kept things in order whether they were working together at Nield & Wrights Store, cutting deer, or working any number of jobs while raising their two children.
Sue loved her daily coffee at the diner and the company of her friends that joined her. She had a green- thumb talent that produced beautiful flowers year after year and her yard was the envy of many. If she wasnt at the diner or puttering with her flowers you could most often find Sue at any variety of sporting events. She was a lifelong sports fan and she spend hours watching local youth Little League and Small Fry as well as High School sports and collegiate and professional alike. Sue was a faithful member of St. Pauls Catholic Church. Her contributions and help in the Hancock community and those in need will be missed.
Sues greatest accomplishment by far was her family. She is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Jim Wright, children Jim (Barbara) and Kris (Joe), grandsons Jimmy Lee, Patrick and Michael Wright and grandaughters-to-be Melanie Carlson and Kayla Szczesniak. Siblings Ed, Paul (Robin), and Rose Ignatovich. Nephew Joe (Jen) Ignatovich, niece Katie (Chris) Wong and great-niece Kaiya Wong.
