On the morning of November 6, 2018, the angel of silence entered the room of Genenive McKnight Wright at Duke Raleigh Hospital. Her soul winged its flight from this earthly world to a peaceful dwelling of eternal rest.

She accepted Christ at an early age and joined Nelson Chapel Baptist Church as a child. She was affectionately known as "Genny" and "BIG G" to her great-grandchildren.

Wright Jr., daughters, Maxine Wright, and Bettie L. Wright, two grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

They who wait for the Lord

shall renew their strength,

they shall mount up with 

wings like an eagle, they shall 

run and not be wear,

they shall walk and not faint

Isaiah 40:31
