Jeannie Lavelle Wright

Jeannie Lavelle Wright, 65, entered the pearly gates of Heaven and into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, July 26, 2026.

Born on October 4, 1960, in Salinas, California, Jeannie was the beloved daughter of James Thomas Wright and Gloria Jean Wright, who preceded her in death.

Jeannie's greatest joy in life was her faith in Jesus Christ. She lived with a generous heart, always offering kindness, encouragement, and compassion to everyone she met. She believed in lifting others up, speaking with love, and sharing God's grace. Her joyful spirit, beautiful blue eyes, vibrant personality, and unforgettable sayings will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her.

She is lovingly survived by her children, Tashia (Brian), Danielle (Wilson), Levi (Jessica), Vida (Darius), Jim, and Daniel; her cherished grandchildren, Joshua Shane, Henslie, Lavinia, Arianna, and Mia; her brother, James Wright; her sisters, Vida and Carrie; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Though her family grieves her passing, they rejoice in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ and find comfort knowing she is now at peace in His presence.

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions... I go to prepare a place for you."

John 14:1-3 (KJV)
