Amy Lynn Wright, 60, peacefully entered into rest on March 26, 2024 in her home surrounded by her loving family. She was the devoted wife of Chris Wright for 38 years. Amy was born July 7, 1963, in Ridgewood, NJ to George and Alice Burley. Raised in Akron, OH, she graduated from Green High School and The University of Akron.

Amy was an exemplary mother, and her greatest joy was spending time with her children and grandchildren. Amy will be remembered for her positivity, beautiful smile, generosity, and strength.
Amy is survived by her husband, Chris; children Jessica Herrold and her husband Jim, Alex Wright and his wife Lisa, Thomas Wright and his wife Maria; five grandchildren: Matilda and Madeline Herrold, Jack and Henry Wright, and Penelope Wright; mother Alice Burley; sisters Julie Burley and her partner Dave Renius, Beth Giamati and her husband Mike, and Melissa Burley.

Jessica, This news makes me very sad. I remember the pride and delight Amy showed when she talked about you, even before you started at Eckerd.

What a shock. I’m so sorry for Amy’s family. I had the joy of sitting next to her for years in homeroom. She was the sweetest, kindest person. Prayers for Amy and her family.
