OBIT WRIGHT, CATHERINE

WRIGHT, Catherine ("Dollie"), 73, of Roanoke, passed away Thursday, December 30, 1993. She went to be with the Lord while in her sleep at a local hospital. She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Harry Gordan Wright; son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Linda Ferguson; daughter, Harriet Wright; four grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Her life was an exemplary model of love and service to her Lord. She was a member of Waverly Place Baptist Church, where she directed and taught in a S.S. Dept. of eight and nine year- olds for 38 years, led WMU at all age levels, and served on numerous committees. Unable to teach anymore, she continued to serve on the nominating committee enlisting others to teach and serve according to their gifts. She truly loved being a homemaker, loved the Lord, her family, and many friends beyond measure. She will be sorely missed by all. Funeral services will be conducted from Waverly Place Baptist Church 11 a.m. Monday, January 3, 1994, with the Rev. Charles Hoffler and Dr. Noel C. Taylor officiating. Burial will follow in Sherwood Memorial Park. Friends may call at Oakey's Vinton Chapel.
