She transitioned with her son, Kedrin, and daughter-in-law, Katrina, by her side.

Annie Maude joined Pleasant Grove Baptist Church at an early age, where her faith took root and remained a guiding force throughout her life. She received her early education in Wilkes County and proudly graduated from Washington-Wilkes High School.

Through her career, she faithfully served veterans and their families, leaving a lasting and meaningful impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Annie Maude was united in holy matrimony to Jimmy Wright, who preceded her in death. To this union, two children were born, Petronia and Kedrin Wright. Together, they built a family rooted in love, strength, and perseverance. She was a devoted mother who cherished her children and took great pride in their accomplishments.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories her loving children: Petronia D. Wright of Decatur, Georgia, and Kedrin B. Wright (Katrina Wright, wife) of Ellenwood, Georgia. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Kiley L. Wright of Stockbridge, Georgia, and Christian D. Daniel of Decatur, Georgia, who brought her immeasurable joy.

Jackson of Rayle, Georgia, and Brinie Watkins of Athens, Georgia, along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure her legacy.
