Marlee Hulihan Wright
November 20, 1950 ~ March 11, 2017
Resided in:
Asheville, NC
Asheville Butterfly Trail
In the early morning hours of March 11th, Marlee Hulihan Wright made a permanent change of residence. She gently passed in her sleep and now resides in her new celestial community overseen by her Heavenly Father. A beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, Marlee is likely yukking it up with her earthly father, John Hulihan, and her husband of 40 years, Don Wright I (who preceded her in death in 2011). Marlee is survived by her mother Jean, eight siblings, her son Don Wright II, daughter Angela Fehl and son-in-law Barry Fehl.
Born in 1950, Marlee was a woman of strong faith and a lover of nature. She got daily joy out of watching birds and squirrels. Marlee was also an avid reader and thoroughly enjoyed all things Hallmark & Precious Moments. Her late husband liked to joke that she never stopped being a child at heart.
Marlee's favorite color was pale yellow, which suitably matched her perpetually sunny disposition and persistent optimism. Marlee's surviving family send out their hopes, wishes and prayers that Marlee has found her new residence even more beautiful than she ever imagined, chock full of all the best books and the softest and fluffiest of God's critters. She, along with her joyous smile, will be deeply missed.
On April 6th, a Celebration of Life will be hosted by Marlee's community of friends and neighbors at Laurelwood Apartments. Those interested in attending may contact Angie or Barry Fehl at (828) 676 – 0935 for more details.
Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian is assisting the family.

We would like to extend our condolences to the family. During this difficult time, you can take comfort from God’s promises for the future. He has planned a wonderful future, in which we will never have to part with our dear loved ones, (John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:3,4.). It is our sincere hope that these divine promises help to sustain your family in the days to come.
Dear Wright family, you all have my sympathy. The death of a loved one causes us deep pain. At Jeremiah 31:13, Almighty God has promised, ‘I will change their mourning into exultation. I will comfort them and give them joy instead of their grief.’ No doubt you look forward to the fulfillment of that promise. Until then, you can fully rely on ‘the God of tender mercies and the God of all comfort’ to give you the strength and endurance to cope during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3)
