Marion Smith Wright

1933 ~ 2019

Marion Smith Wright passed away peacefully in her daughter’s home surrounded by her family on November 26, 2019.  She was born on March 27, 1933 in Layton, Utah to Asahel and Nora Smith and resided in Kaysville all her life.

She attended Kaysville Elementary, where in third grade, she met her future husband.  She went on to graduate from Davis High School in 1951. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many callings especially loving the time she and Dee served as missionaries at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.

Mom really loved to work and some of her best friends were those made while working for 40 years at Barnes Banking Company.  She had many cherished friends from her childhood and early married years that continued throughout her life.

Mom was a fabulous cook, a spotless housekeeper and always had a lovely yard.  She loved having her family surrounding her and was never without a camera to catch every minute.  She especially loved our weekly Sunday dessert nights and we will think of her every time we make Special K Treats, Penuche, Oatmeal Cake or Cherry Cheesecake.  Mom had a quick wit with a touch of sarcasm and a twinkle in her eye.

Marion is survived by her three children; Tracy (Greg) Higley, Jackie (Kolin) Vance, David (Vicki) Wright, nine grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.  Also surviving are her sisters, Carol Smith and Connie (Rod) Chambers.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her brother Donald Smith, her granddaughter Callie Dee Vance and son-in-law Alan Jorgenson.

She is our Grandma Great and will miss her so much.  As a family we are very grateful for all the care and loving kindness that has been shown on her behalf.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at 11 a.m. at the Kaysville Crestwood Stake Center, 855 E. Mutton Hollow Road, Kaysville, Utah.  Friends may visit with family from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to the service.  Interment, Kaysville City Cemetery

The family would like to thank mom’s amazing Rocky Mountain Hospice aid, Yessie.  You Were a Blessing!

Services entrusted to Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah.
