Mrs. Florence Wright-Brown, fondly called “Stanka”, was born June 30, 1962 at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta, Georgia to the late Wilbur Wright, Sr. and the late Florence Brown Wright. She was educated in the Lowndes County School System and was a member of Lowndes High School graduating Class of 1980.
There was a never a dull moment when “Stanka” was around. Just like her brother, Rickey, she was full of life and the family comedian. Her gift of joy was ever present through her smiles, laughter and joking around. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her grandparents: Calvin Wright, Sr., Katie Wright, Joe Brown and Ola Brown; a sister-in-law: Brenda Wright; two brothers-in-law: Charles Stansell and Maurice Pinkney; and her brother: Rickey Wright.
