Deborah WRIGHT

Deborah Ann Wright was born January 17, 1951 in Dayton, Ohio to parents Horace Jones and Dorothy Ray Jones. She departed on July 21, 2014 at Good Samaritan Hospital. Debbie is now joined with her parents, husband Sam Wright, and baby brother Bryant Jones.

Debbie was born and raised in Dayton, OH and attended Roosevelt High School which she ultimately had to forgo in efforts to raise her first born child and build a life with her husband. She sacrificed child's play for the mature requirements of being a wife and a mother. This sacrifice became her "Strong Suit".

Debbie mothered four children (2 girls and 2 boys). She made sure they were raised with proper values, morals, character, and a strong love and faith in the LORD. Debbie also mothered and positively impacted numerous other young men and women; her maternal qualities earned her the well known name "Momma Abbott".

Debbie enjoyed spending time with all of her family and friends. She was always up for a backyard cookout and listening to some good music (especially Luther Vandross and Frankie Beverly & Maze). She would participate in all the physical activities and games, and most of all you could hear her distinctive "Jones Family" laugh from afar.

Debbie was a committed and tireless worker. She worked in the manufacturing field as a Forklift Supervisor for the majority of her long career. She loved her Chrysler / Behr co-workers and had their love and respect in return. Three words greatly describe Debbie: Fair, Firm & Fun.

Debbie married long-time boyfriend Samuel Wright and never looked back. They were a very fun spirited and entertaining pair; rather their agreeing or disagreeing was fun to witness. The would play cat and mouse like no other.

Debbie leaves to share her memories her sister Karen Jones (Melvin) and brother Billy Jones (Stephanie); four children Rhonda Clay, Ron Abbott (Angie), Betty Abbott, and Kenny J. Bozeman (Dionne); two step-daughters Cookie Wright and Candy Wright; 28 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends; and her special niece Renee Jones (Ciph).
