Helen Marie Wright

1937-2025

Helen Marie Wright, passed away peacefully on October 13, 2025 at the age of 88.  Helen leaves behind her dear husband, John (Jack) Wright after a wonderful marriage of 68 years.  She was the beloved mother of Lynn Wright of Richmond Hill and Gail Petrie (Richard/Dick) of Kitchener and two grandchildren Sara of Kitchener and Kevin (Ashlee) Petrie of Annandale, P.E.I.  Her passing leaves a void her family cannot fill.

Helen was born in Chesley, Ontario in the year 1937 to parents, Robert Sweiger and Vada (Kemp) Calhoun.  Helen married Jack in 1957 in Chesley and they worked together at their family business, Wright’s Farm Equipment.  In 1995 Helen and Jack closed the business and moved to Foxboro Green, in Baden, Ontario.  After many happy years the move was made in 2017 to Luther Village on the Park in Waterloo where they resided for 9 years.  Helen was predeceased by her sister, Margaret and her brother, Ken.

Cremation has already taken place and according to mom’s wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial. 

Lynn and Gail have so appreciated all the friends and family who have reached out as we struggle to come to terms with mom’s passing.  A warm thank you also goes out to all the friends at Luther Village who have reached out with their condolences.  Family was everything to mom.  We will never forget the love she brought to our lives.
