Thelma Goranson Wright passed away January 11, 2008. Thelma was born in 1915 to Anton and Marie Earlandson Goranson in Ronan, Montana, and grew up in the Round Butte farming community. Thelma loved her horses, Prince and Daisy, and held the memory of riding the country roads and fields with joy. She also loved music, and played and sang on the Missoula radio station as a young girl. She continued to sing until her last days. Her love of Montana was intense and she shared her memories of that magic place with us all.

She moved to Seattle in 1935 to attend business school after graduating from Ronan High School, and worked for Frederick and Nelson before marrying her husband, Wilbur Wright, who preceded her in death in 1954. After working for Boeing in their insurance department for 30 years, she retired in 1985.

Our beloved Auntie's rich and full life included a love of travel that took her all over the world, writing poetry and photography. She was an avid bowler, whose team made it all the way to the state tournament. She spent her last years near her family in the Edmonds area.

She is survived by her niece Billie Lockwood Noe, and greatnieces and nephews Steve (Jan) Noe, Jon Noe, Melisande Noe, Lisa (Aaron) Gaines, Luann Lockwood and Laura (Tracy) Asbell. No service is planned, Interment will be in Montana at a later date.

Loved by all. Missed by all. Have a great ride, Bucko!
