Obituary For Luvenia H. Wright

Luvenia H. Wright (Sally), 82, of Alabama, gained her wings October 1, 2022 at Springhill Memorial Hospital. She was born March 27, 1940 in Mobile County, Alabama, daughter of the late Myers Harris, Sr. and Ethel Harris. In addition to her parents, Sally is also preceded in death by her first husband Ollie Walker; her second husband, Arthur Wright, Sr., two brothers, Myers Harris, Jr. and LaBarron "Barry" Harris; her sister, Flo Etta (Harris) O’Neal Gillard.

Sally leaves to cherish her memory, her three children, Angela G. Berry of Mobile, AL, Catherine W. Ellzey of Covington, GA, and Samantha Walker of Mobile, AL; siblings, Agnes Hunter, of Mobile, AL, Zachary (Marie) Harris, of Newark, NJ, Rachelle Harris, of Mobile, AL, Cheryl (Sam) Watson, of Columbus, OH, and Reginald Harris, of Atlanta, GA; her grandchildren, Terry Walker, of Mobile, AL, Kathleen (Byron) Holloway, of Greer, SC, Ambrosia Walker of Huntsville, AL, Kelly Berry of Coatesville, PA, James (Wendy) Walker of Mobile, AL, Kevin Ellzey of Covington, GA, G’Myers Walker of Mobile, AL, Kevin (Brittany) Berry of Harrisburg, PA, Jr., John Walker of Texas; 17 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, other family and many friends.

Sally was a hard working matriarch. She dedicated employment to Mobile Association-Retarded Citizens (M.A.R.C.). Sally went on to dedicate 25 years of service to M.A.R.C. before retiring. Sally’s life would seem too short to many, but those of us who were blessed to be touched by her understand that her existence and the imprint she left on our hearts exceed the quantity of time that she stayed here.
