was born October 19, 1907 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. After her mother passed 
away, her family moved to Los Angeles in 1921 where she met Jimmy Wright. They 
married in 1928 and moved to Lost Hills at North Belridge, where he worked in 
the oilfields for Belridge Oil. Irene was a homemaker and raised three 
children during their forty-three year stay. While at Belridge, she was active 
in the Belridge PTA and the Belridge Sunday School. After Jimmys retirement in 
1971, the couple moved to Bakersfield and bought their first home in Rosedale. 
Irene became a member of the First Baptist Church of Greenacres and there she 
grew in her personal relationship with Jesus Christ. She was a member of 
American Baptist Women and helped with many mission projects. Grandma Wright 
was known for her delicious pies and candies that always made family dinners 
and church events special. Her kindness also extended to the school children 
who waited for the bus on the corner by her house. She loaned her sweaters to 
many shivering little ones. Grandma Wright loved and served her family as 
well. Irene was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Wright, her sister, 
Louise and brother, Stan. She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Parsons and 
her husband, Floyd; sons, Jim Wright and his wife, Jerri, and Phillip Wright 
and his wife, Elaine; grandchildren, Robert and Vicky Parsons, Linda and Tim 
Mazza, all of Bakersfield, Greg and Chaney Wright of Seattle, Steven Wright,

grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, 
donations may be made in her memory to the First Baptist Church of Greenacres.
