June 15, 1936 — January 27, 2023
Elise M. (Cheney) Wright
Passed away on January 27, 2023 at the age of 86 at Margaret Pratt Community.
Elsie is the daughter of Bunal and Julia Cheney. She was born on June 15, 1936 into a loving family of 5 sisters and 2 brothers. Elsie attended schools at McIndoe Elementary, Marshfield High for 2 years and graduated from Bradford Academy in 1954. Elsie married Richard Wright on August 13, 1954. They had 4 children, Anthony A. Wright (and wife Barbara) of Mills River, NC. Vincent B. Wright, Tammy M. Wright of Haverhill, NH, and Julie D. Wright Harris Wood of E. Ryegate, VT. Elsie has 8 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren. All she loved very much.
Elsie enjoyed our daily rides around Lake Morey, Lake Fairlee and Harvey’s Lake. She loved taking a new county back road and getting “lost”. She called those rides adventures, and they always ended with a chocolate/vanilla twist or a Reese’s P.B. cup! She loved country music and would often be seen dancing a ‘jig’.
Elise worked in NYC at a fancy jewelry store. She taught Sunday school and drove school bus for many years. Her favorite job was house cleaning and meeting new people.
Even though she knew her memory was failing, she handled it with grace saying, “Everything is going to be okay.”
Elsie was predeceased by her parents and 6 siblings. Her husband Richard in 2007, her son Vincent in 2020, her son-in-law, James Harris and a granddaughter, Jenny McKinney both in 2000. One surviving sister, Ruby Humphrey of Nevada.
At Elsie’s request there will be no services.
