Edna F. Wright, 92, of Lafayette, died Monday December 19, 2016 at St. Mary Healthcare Center in Lafayette. Her husband, Warren J. Wright, 91, of Lafayette, died Friday December 16, 2016 at Digby Place in Lafayette.    Their family takes comfort knowing they were married for 68 years before their earthly lives ended, and they were apart for only 3 days before being united again in heaven. Edna was born March 16, 1924, to the late Robert and Ada Remaly. She was the last living child of a family of 17 children raised on a farm northeast of Monitor. She graduated from Monitor High School in 1943. She married Warren Wright on October 30, 1948 at the home of Rev. John Root in Rossville. Edna was employed at Haywood Tag Company and she was the food hostess for the Oakland Elementary School lunch program for many years. She was a member of Elston Presbyterian Church and was active in many church programs, the Red Hat Society, and enjoyed spending time with her family, friends, and many nieces and nephews.

Surviving are their 4 children, a daughter, Susan Parker (Brad – deceased) of Auburn, IN, son, Billy Wright of Lafayette, daughter, Bonnie Thompson (John) of Lafayette, and son, Mark Wright (Martha) of West Lafayette. He has 9 grandchildren, Brett Parker (Andrea) of Auburn, Brooke Pelletier (Stephen) of Bloomington, Tessa Galindo (Jorge) of Sierra Vista, AZ, Grant Thompson (Misty) of Lafayette, Gretchen Diehls (Jason) of Lafayette, Ginger Myers (Brian) of Ft. Wayne, Landon Thompson (Molly) of Lafayette, and Matthew and Mitchell Wright both of West Lafayette, and 15 great grandchildren, Mahayla Parker, Michael Parker, Abigail Parker, Parker Pelletier, Taylor Pelletier, Gabe Galindo, Juliana Galindo, Jocelyn Galindo, Holden Thompson, Nora Thompson, Roslyn Diehls, Archer Diehls, Sawyer Diehls, Boden Diehls, and Quinn Myers.  She was preceded in death by 10 brothers, Claude, Wilbur, Russell, Chester, Herbert, Charles, Kenneth, Harold, Ernest, and Paul, and 6 sisters, Blanche Adams, Eva Beck, Edith Peter, Ruth Butler, Hattie Cheesman, and Melba Wilson.  Visitation for Warren and Edna will be from 9:00 a.m. until the funeral service begins at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday December 21, 2016 at the Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel, 400 Twyckenham Blvd. Lafayette, IN 47909. The burials will take place at Rest Haven Cemetery.  Pastor Rick Ryan will officiate the services. The family would like to thank the staff at Digby Place, St. Mary Healthcare Center, and Great Lakes Caring Hospice for the wonderful love and attention they have given during this time.  Warren spent the last few years of his life caring for Edna, and the family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Alzheimers Association.
