Linda Gray Wright , peacefully went to be with Jesus on October 29, 2021. She was surrounded by her family in her home in Fryeburg.

Born June 26, 1940, Linda was born to Gertrude Slack Conover, and Earl Gray, on her Mother’s birthday, along with her twin sister, Lois in Trenton, N.J. She grew up in Dolington, Pa., and went to Council Rock High School, where she was a stand out softball player. She married her high school sweetheart, Alfred J. Wright from Newtown, Pa. They were married for 56 years, before Alfred passed away in 2016.

Linda and Alfred started Wright’s Bakery in Newtown, Pa, in their early 20s. They had three children, Donna, Alfred Jr., and David. They once owned two motorcycles and enjoyed riding them.

In 1977, Linda and Alfred and their three children moved to Chatham, N.H., where they homesteaded on their farm. Linda got a job as manager of Harringtons, Vt., of North Conway, N.H. In 1981, they bought Stow Corner Store, along with their son David. She helped manage the store, along with working at the Red Jacket in the office. She then worked for Oak Brokers. While her grandkids were young, Linda and Al loved to go to the Basin and take them camping.

Linda lovingly took care of her husband Alf, for almost 12 years, after he had a stroke. She also helped take care of her twin sister, Lo, for several years, until her death in 2019.

Linda loved to play cards, and belonged to the Merry Makers Card Club, which started in 1947 by several farmer’s wives, in North Fryeburg. She also was a great cook, and was heard to say, “I hope I can cook when I get to Heaven!” Linda loved the Red Sox and watched every game she could. She also loved to watch tennis and golf. She attended Bible study, and loved Jesus.

Linda’s claim to fame, was the four generations of birthdays that she was a part of. Her mother, her twin sister and herself, her daughter, Donna, and granddaughter Chelsy, all were born on June 26.

She was loved by her 13 grandchildren and her many great- grandchildren. Linda was given the best care by her grand-daughter, Coreen Hennessy Eccleston, her husband Cavan, and son Cian, who was the apple of her eye, while they lived with her for the last few years. We all are very grateful for their care which allowed for her to be at home.

Linda leaves behind her daughter, Donna Hennessy, and her husband John, of Chatham, N.H., Alfred J. Wright Jr. and his wife Melanie, of Montgomery, Tex., and David Wright, and his wife, Joann, of Wales, Mass. Also her sister-in-law, Karla Wright Edwards, her husband Wayne, and their families, from Wrightstown, Pa.

Linda’s family would like to thank all the medical staff at Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway, who were so support- ive and caring, and the visiting and hospice nurses of North Conway. The EMT team, who transported her so carefully and caringly. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Visit- ing Nurse Home Care & Hospice, PO Box 432 North Conway, NH 03860. A celebration of her life with family and friends was held Sunday, Nov. 7, at the Basin, at 2 p.m. Words of condo- lence and tribute may be shared with Linda’s family at www. woodfuneralhome.org.
