A deeply cherished and beloved mother, she is survived by daughter Julie Ann and son Clayton Floyd Wright, as well as many neices and nephews and extended family.

Bernice Wright lived her life characterized by unconditional love, unwavering faith, and acts of service. Her smile and eyes radiated love and light, with such beauty of soul and spirit.

The Senate of the State of Texas recognized her in 2005 for her service, and in 2010 she was honored with a Certificate of Commendation from the Texas House of Representatives. She served as Election Judge in her precinct, and gave of herself throughout her life with grace and dignity.

She served as President of the United Methodist Women, assisted in forming homebound meals in the Lake Cities area, and volunteered with the Spirit of Christmas. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Bernice Wright loved children and was a foster parent for 15 years with Denton County, specializing in rehabilitation of infants with failure to thrive syndrome. She and her husband led a Sunday school program at the Denton State School.

Bernice Wright radiated light and love to all who encountered her. The beauty of her soul, love of her heart, and graciousness of spirit still touch our hearts.

She is deeply missed.

Her legacy is a legacy of love, and her wish for all would be that we love one another.
