Donna Gail Wright

- July 9, 2023

Today we are here with great sadness to be having to announce that our loving, caring mother, Donna Gail Wright gained her wings on July 9th, 2023. We are grateful that she was able to go peacefully in her own home where she resided in Christiansburg, Virginia. Our beloved mother was born in Gary, Indiana on July 23rd, 1952. Her father was the late Robert Massey of Jackson, Mississippi and mother, Maria (Jim) Botta out of Lucedale, Mississippi. Donna attended and graduated Scott Central High School in Forrest, Mississippi (1970). Our loving, caring, outgoing Mother was always a hard and dependable employee in many different fields. She started her career in New York Life of Memphis, Tennessee into working for Kroger, Lewis Gale Hospital, Heritage Hall and ended her career with her loving and supportive family at Arby’s in Christiansburg, Virginia. Donna loved and cherished many friends and family along her way. I know that without our two special friends (Kathy Donovan and Yvette Martin) they truly helped with watching out and for Donna. Always in Donna’s down time with her favorite beverage in hand. She loved to decorate, garden, watch sports and can’t forget her love for shopping. Now as our guardian angel she will be watching over her two daughters, Brandi (Makyza) Ramsey in Blacksburg, Virginia and Deanna Mattews in Bassfield, Mississippi. She definitely will be by her grandchildren sides daily, her special (little bud) Jayseon Lewis in Blacksburg, Virginia, Josh and Jessica Temple with 3 great-grandchildren all out of Florence, Mississippi. One thing for sure, two things for certain, she will always have memories and many roles in different lives and places. Always loved and will never be forgotten. Fly High Darlin!
