Elvin Cyril Wright was born on February 22, 1925 in Hanna, Alberta, Canada while his parents were there custom harvesting.
He was the fourth child of Murl and Valera Peak Wright. He graduated from Hillsdale High School in 1942 where he was the valedictorian of his class.
He immediately enlisted in the United States Navy where he served during WWII in Ulithi in the Carolina Islands in the South Pacific.
After returning from the war, he enrolled at Northwestern Oklahoma State University where he lived with his wife, Virginia, whom he married on August 12, 1946. He attended one year of college but had to drop out due to illness.
He worked for the next 30 years at the U.S. Postal Service as a letter carrier. After retirement he worked for several years as a carpenter, his true vocation. He spent many summers coaching his sons’ baseball teams and never missed a game in which his sons played in all sports through their high school years.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years. He is also survived by his children: Mike and his wife, Kelley of Enid and Tim and his wife, Janet of Broken Arrow. His grandchildren are: Meredith Wright of Tulsa, Whitney Wright of Enid, Jason Wright and wife Allison of Bixby and Jennifer Stickney and husband Michael of Tulsa. Great-grandchildren are: Jake and Caden Wright, and Siler and Grayson Stickney.
He was a member of the American Legion, Men’s Garden Club, Dudes and Dolls Square Dance Club and the local chapter of the National Association of Letter Carriers where he served numerous terms as President. He was a 64 year member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where he was married and worked tirelessly for the church during his entire membership.
Other survivors include his siblings: Lucille Jarrell, Ray Wright, Berniece Etcheson and Joe Wright and many adoring nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers.
