Obituary for
Sammie Ruth Wright
Seventy years ago a journey began with only small town attention, when a girl with long dark curls, met a strong Navy boy with sparkling eyes.
An everlasting true love began. A love for all ages and time. A sensitive enduring love that we all, only hope and dream and wish for!
