Doris Lowder Wright

Mrs. Wright died in Charlotte, North Carolina at 6:30 p.m. on
May 16, 2011.

Doris was born in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina on February 14, 1923, to the late Bernie Carlton and Artie Boner Lowder. She graduated from R.J. Reynolds High School and attended Salem College, both located in Winston-Salem, N.C. She was a great supporter of Center Grove Baptist Church in Clemmons, N.C. She married Ivan Merle (Bud) Wright in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1946. They had one daughter, Lynette Wright Lillich, who predeceased Doris on August 2, 2005. Bud Wright died September 1, 1992. After Bud’s death, Doris moved to Butler, Pennsylvania to be closer to her daughter Lyn. Lyn and her husband, Jere, acted as caregivers to Doris while she resided at New Haven Assisted Living Center.

Doris’s siblings also predeceased her. Her sister, Lois Lowder Fox, died November 6, 1976. Her brother, Carlton Boner Lowder died
November 30, 1999. She is also predeceased by her first cousin, Bernice Pegram Doty, who died on November 4, 2005.

Doris’s world centered on her family and her family will miss her so much. She loved to read and was an expert at crossword puzzles and scrabble. When Bud was alive she lived for their Sunday drives and their time with Honey, their miniature poodle. She and Bud loved to travel by car all across the United States and probably visited all of our beautiful national parks.

Doris is survived by grandson, John Scarborough, his wife Amy, and their two children, John Lawrence and Kristin Josephine of Georgia and grandson Philip Scarborough, his wife Virginia, and their daughters, Taylor Lyn and Elizabeth Grace of California; nieces and nephews, Susan Acosta, Anne Burton, Jan Fox-Cain, Woody Fox and Stephen Lowder. She is also survived by three first cousins, Miriam Dean, Rosemary Culbreth and Ray Pegram. The family wishes to express its appreciation to private nurses, Flo Love and Sarah Metts, for their love and care of Doris during her final years.
