Hedy Owens Wright

October 16, 1950 - September 17, 2020

Hedy Jean (Owens) Wright went home to the Lord on Thursday, September 17, 2020 at her home in Menard. Hedy was born on October 16, 1950 to James Harvey and Virginia (Kirby) Owens in San Saba, Texas. She attended Lometa schools where she graduated in 1969. She continued her education at Angelo State, where she was a Ram Cheerleader. After a blind-date-gone-well, she met the love of her life, Odie Dan Wright and they married August 20, 1972. In the '70s the Wrights also welcome their two children, Lori and Tyler. Hedy managed to keep books at the clinic while committing to be a stay-at-home mom to her children. And what a mother she was. Hedy was a fixture at the Menard Country Club, booster clubs, livestock show, Chamber of Commerce, church choir, First United Methodist Church goings-on, and every single sport or event Tyler or Lori participated in. Hedy was preceded in death by her parents, James and Virginia, her adored sister Cecilia Owens Riley, brother Gary Owens, and husband Odie. Survivors include a large family-companion Jimmy Porter; daughter Lori Rogers, husband Larry and grandchildren Logan and Layne; son Tyler, wife Paige and children O'Dan and Linah, all of Menard; brother-in-law Randy Riley and son Jacob of Stamford; Honorary "sister" Norma Rogers and husband Lawrence; and Sally and Bruce Hough, son Ty Titzman, all of Menard. Sister-in-law Beth Ann Erhardt, husband Mark and their four children; brother-in-law Mickey Wright, wife Jacki and their two children; and many, MANY additional well-loved family members. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donations to the Menard Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 414, Menard, Texas 76859, or Hospice of San Angelo. The family would like to thank HOSA, specifically Darci and Kila, also one of the primary reasons Hedy was able to be home and happy was her daughter Lori, who served as a true round-the-clock nurse and caregiver for months on end. We are so grateful for Lori's hard work and patience. Arrangements are handled by Heritage Funeral Home of Menard.
