Luretta Wright

Luretta Perkins Wright, age 92, went home to her Heavenly Father on December 16, 2025. She lovingly answered to “Momma”, “Granny” and “Aunt Lou.”

Luretta is reunited in Heaven with her son, Malvin Chris (Jackie) Wright; her parents, Isacc and Isolene Smith Perkins; granddaughter, Karen Renee Wright; brother, Isacc Perkins; and nephew, Robert Glen Perkins.

Luretta is survived by her children, Kathy Ward, Rev. Jimmy (Felicia) Wright and Duckey (Melinda) Wright; her grandchildren, Shannon (Lynette) Radford, Wendy (Ashley) Williams, Jeremy (Heather) Wright, Tracy Mock, Alicia Wright, Chris (Kristin) Wright, Sabrina (J.W.) Bludsworth, Jennifer Wright, Jessica Wright, Tiffany Barber, Stephanie (Jimmy) Maddox, and Caleb Wright; her 29 great grandchildren, and her 9 great-great grandchildren, as well as many special nieces and nephews.  

Lou was an extraordinary woman. She was a faithful Christian, a phenomenal biscuit maker, a giving selfless soul, and a cake making expert. She gave to those who needed a helping hand, welcomed all into her home with a warming heart, and was a shining light to all around her. Her life was a testament of devotion to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who she worshiped and praised in both shelter and in storm. Lou was a faithful member of Sneads Pentecostal Holiness Church where she enjoyed listening to her son, Jimmy, preach Gods word. She also enjoyed the many years working at JCARC where she retired. Lou adored her family and everyone she met. Lou will forever be our kind and amazing mother, granny and friend.
