Mary Wright
Obituary
Mary Louise Wright was born on April 27, 1931 in Tulsa, OK to Arthur and Hazel (Williams) Knight. Mary passed from this life on Sunday, July 31, 2011 at the age of 80. She was born in Tulsa, OK and lived here all of her life. She married Luther Wright on September 7, 1946. They had 6 children.
Mary's life revolved around her love for children. She worked at several church nurseries around Tulsa and operated a home daycare until her health began to deteriorate. During the last 7 years of Mary's life she was stricken with numerous health issues. But even on her worst days, her face would light up when her grandchildren or great grandchildren came for a visit.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Luther Wright, her daughter, Sharon Lee Bennett, her brother, Junior Knight, her sister, Rose Harsen and her son-in-law, Dean Galutza, Sr. She is survived by 3 daughters, Marilyn and her husband Ron Berry of Catoosa, OK, Patsy Galutza, of Owasso, OK and Cherryl and her husband Tracy Mosley of Tulsa, OK; and 2 sons, Rob and his wife Jo Lynn Wright, of Owasso, OK and Gary and his wife Sherrie Wright, of Catoosa, OK; 15 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
The family would like to recognize Family Care Hospice for their care and compassion. The nurses and caregivers truly treated Mary like family; special thanks to Alyssa who stood by her until the end.

Tributes & Memories
We want to send our deepest sympathy and prayers to Marilyn Berry and her family upon the death of her Mother-Mary Wright. Marilyn and Ron have not only provided professional and legal services to my family but we have been privileged to come to know them and consider them friends as well. Having lost both my parents, one in 2008 and one in 2009, I know the pain, shock and grief no matter if the death was very sudden or a very prolonged one as was the case with each of my parents. Marilyn and Ron have helped me professionally and personally by walking with me when needed in the care of my parents I had legal and moral obligation for the last 5 and 6 years of their life with my dear husband's help. Being a long time Catoosan and close neighbor in that small town, especially in the earlier years, I could always count on either of them to sit and listen to me talk or sometimes cry regarding my parents lives as I was their Legal guardian, daughter and caretaker. My Father lived with my husband and me the last 6 years of his life and had Alzheimer's, the Berry's helped me through many a difficulty both legal and personally. I am proud to have them as friends and thankful for their wisdom with the law. In a world where personal service is so little seen anymore my husband and I count them both as a blessing. I started having the privilege of knowing their family years ago when I taught one of their daughters as a teacher at Catoosa Schools.That was the beginning of a long friendship on a professional and personal level. We pray Marilyn and her family may find God's peace now and heal in knowledge that her Mother is no longer in any pain though she will be missed. Revelations 21:4 says it best "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes: there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." In that we can be sure. God Bless and Deepest Sympathy Toney and Robin Robbins
