She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Lewisburg. Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, W. Donald Wright. She was an integral part of Wright’s Pharmacy, and later H&S Pharmacy, doing everything from bookkeeping, cooking hams and her favorite- going to Atlanta market.
