Listen to this obituary

Meridian, MS – Annie Pauline Wright, 94, passed away on August 24, 2021 at Rush Specialty Hospital in Meridian, MS. She was born December 22, 1926 in Vanvleet, Mississippi to the late Annie Hilma Smith and the late William Thomas Young. She was a Telephone Operator for 20 years and in 1946 she married the love of her life, James “Buddy” Wright. After 60 years of marriage, he preceded her in death on May 15, 2005.

Annie Pauline was the most loving wife, mother and grandmother anyone could ask for. She enjoyed cooking for her family, but even more so, she enjoyed playing with her grand babies and great grand babies. Anyone that knew Annie Pauline would also tell you what an avid Atlanta Braves fan she was as well as just how independent she was. She will dearly be missed by many.
