Angie Lynn Kelly Wright went to be with her Lord on June 21, 2019.
Born July 12, 1935 in Noxapater, Mississippi to Jimmer (Stark) and Hugh Kelly.
Angie had an older half-sister Betty Kelly, two older brothers, Bill Kelly, and George Kelly, and two younger sisters, Lera Kelly (Barlow) and Molly Kelly (Walton). All have predeceased her.
It's hard to sum up a life in a few words and in black and white. Angie Wright's life was a myriad of color, full of laughter, wit, and love. All of the memories of friends and family, and places traveled are too numerous to mention. Her legacy lives on in her family, two daughters, Shelley Wright (Jones) of Shelbyville, Tennessee, and Kayci Wright (Lerway) of Austin Texas; two grandsons (Aaron Mechler of College Station, Texas and John (Jody) Dickey of Dallas, Texas); and two great-grandsons (Nolan and Cameron Dickey of Dallas, Texas); as well as many nieces and nephews. Angie was a devoted mother, wife, and friend who was always willing to help anyone in need, and she will be sorely missed.
Angie and family moved from Mississippi to East Texas, and finally to Oklahoma City before her 5th grade year. Angie was active in school and church. Little did she know that during her High School Senior year she would meet her future husband, Roger Wright. As most 17 year olds, Angie was clueless of what was in store for her, but for Roger it was love at first sight. Roger (a college freshman) was substitute teaching the senior girls bible class for his mother when they met at Capitol Hill Baptist Church. They dated for 3 years until he finished his Oklahoma University. engineering degree and were married August 27, 1955.
They began their journey together that would last for almost 64 years. Roger was working on seismograph crews in the early years. Angie's ability to be happy in any situation was tested when they moved 13 times in the first three years and had two daughters. Angie often said that every place has its good and bad things. If you choose to look just for the good, you will be happy. The family would move four more times together. Each time she would assure her daughters that you would not lose old friends, but make new friends. This was proven through the many friends Angie added to her life from childhood onward.
Angie liked new adventures and challenges. She led a life of example for her daughters, when after the kids started school, she leaped at the opportunity to go to college and obtain a degree in Medical Technology. She attended Oklahoma University taking a full credit load each year while raising her daughters and taking care of the house. One time Angie brought her lab project home for the weekend--an opossum. When the opossum escaped its cage, chaos ensued with great family cooperation in chasing and capturing the opossum in the neighborhood. Angie and Roger had many hobbies they enjoyed together, including tennis, golf, and bridge. Angie and Roger taught Bible classes together for young adults for many years. The Bible teaching came easy as she was a great example as a mother and wife.
Upon retirement Roger and Angie moved to Georgetown Sun City in 1998 where volunteering became a way of life. Some of their volunteer efforts were at the Georgetown Library. Also, Roger and Angie coordinated the volunteer religious ministry efforts at the Williamson County Detention Center for First Baptist Georgetown for 19 years.
Cooking was always a passion that Angie shared with her two daughters. For several years she made over 10 dozen cookies every other week for the troop deployment and Wounded Warrior group at Fort Hood, TX.
Retirement did not slow life down. She shared her love of travelling with trips and cruises with her daughters, grandkids, family, and old high school friends. One of her favorite pastimes on cruises were the trivia contests with traveling companions where they won the majority of the time.
For the last five years they have lived at the Wesleyan at Estrella Independent Living facility in Georgetown. A memorial service will be held there July 13th in the Hewlett Room at 2:00 PM. Memorial Contributions may be sent to the Wesleyan Foundation Benevolent Fund, 265 White Heron Dr., Georgetown, TX. 78628
