Ruthie Frances Wright

Ruthie Frances "Gee Gee" Tyson Wright, of Weatherford, went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, November 21, 2007. She passed away in her sleep at a local care facility. Gee Gee was born October 5, 1924 in Addison, Texas, daughter of the late William Lee and Alice Tyson. She moved to Weatherford when she was fourteen and it was here that Gee Gee met the love of her life, Mr. A.B. Wright. They married on March 14, 1942 at the parsonage of North Side Baptist Church in Weatherford. They were married until his passing December 20, 2005. Together they traveled the United States, venturing to almost every state. Gee Gee loved to collect rocks, shells and "Teddy" bears from her travels. In 1967, PaPa and Gee Gee moved to Everman, spending most of their married life there and rearing their three daughters. Gee Gee was very active in Southway Side Baptist Church in Everman and the Everman Senior Center participating in crafts and numerous activities. She loved visiting with family, shopping at Wal-Mart, eating at buffets, especially Buffet City, and people watching. No one could make a buttermilk pie like Gee Gee. Gee Gee's first love has always been with children. She did not care who they belonged to, from babysitting in her younger years to spoiling her great-grandchildren in her most recent days. Nothing made her happier than seeing her grandchildren have babies. The brightest light in her last year of life were her three new great-grandchildren. The family wishes to thank the nurses and staff of the care facility for their love, care, and support during the last days of Gee Gee's life.
