Carolyn was a gentle soft-spoken lady who dedicated her life to her family as a loving homemaker. Carolyn’s elegance and strength was an inspiration to those close to her. She embraced her southern heritage and instilled those values of graciousness, humility and kindness in her family. She enjoyed listening to Frank Sinatra and savoring a nice glass of wine. She also loved playing the slot machines, taking trips to the beach and playing golf. She was the president of the Wilmington Janecees in 1967. Above all, Carolyn cherished family vacations and gatherings.

She is survived by her children, Mark Wright (Beth) of Middletown, Stephen Wright (January) of Wilmington, Laura Firlein (Brian) of Middletown and Darren Wright of Baltimore, MD; grandchildren, Kate, Holly, James, Brandon, Kacey and Tyler; and many nieces and nephews.

My wife and I moved into Spring Arbor about 10 years ago. I don’t remember the occasion it was so long ago, but I met Carolyn, it may have been just a walk around the neighborhood, but I never forgot our one on one brief meeting. I thought she was so physically beautiful, smart and sweet. We didn’t talk much but enough for me to realize she was really someone special. Our conversation stayed with me until this day. A special prayer for Carolyn tonight.
Janet Robinson & Family

Your mom was one of a kind… She was sweet, soft spoken, absolutely beautiful, feisty, funny, loving, caring and one of the most wonderful women I’ve ever met in my life. She will be missed by everyone who ever had the privilege of knowing her. My heart is with you all… Love, Dawn
