She was very active in her church and found so much pleasure in Civil War re-enactment, square dancing, involvement in the Kiwanis Club and so many other hobbies. She adored entertaining and having her children and grandchildren around her. She was an avid animal lover and always had a menagerie of pets and was a safe haven for her children’s friends whenever they needed guidance or a place to stay. While in Charles Town, she met and married Thomas E. Wright, Jr. on November 24, 2001. After his passing, she continued to enjoy their love of square dancing and staying active in their Kiwanis Club.
