Mr. Donald Leroy Wright, a lifetime resident of Weiner, departed this life Wednesday, January 10, 2018, at his home, at the age of 86.
He was born September 30, 1931, in Weiner, the son of the late Russell Wright and Anna Koster Wright.
Donald farmed all his life and was a U.S. Army Korean Veteran. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, but his interest was anything and everything about farming. The words of Paul Harvey fit well with his life, "A man\u0027s greatest possession is dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming." Donald put his trust in Jesus as Savior at Weiner Baptist Church in 1980 and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Harrisburg.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Clyde Wright, Ervin Wright and Earl Wright, and three sisters, Betty Jones, Mary Moore, and Bellva Fuller.
He is survived by his wife, Wanda Wright of the home, one son, Larry Wright of Weiner, one daughter, Sharon Wright of Valley View, four grandchildren, one great grandson, three step grandchildren and several step great grandchildren.
Funeral services have been set for 2:00 p.m. Saturday, January 13, 2018, at the Calvary Baptist Church in Harrisburg with Bro. Charles Lewis, Bro. Roger Duffel and Bro. Jim Duffel officiating. Interment will follow in Oak Grove Cemetery at Weiner. Friends may visit at the church Saturday, 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Pallbearers will include Tommy Jones, Brock Duffel, Brian Keiffer, Phillip Craft, Eddie Wright and David Wallace. Honorary Pallbearers will be Donald Cooper and the Men\u0027s Sunday School Class at Calvary Baptist Church. Services have been entrusted to Gregg-Weston Funeral Home of Harrisburg.
