Life’s Reflections
Stephanie
Yolanda Forrester Wright was born on July 27, 1967, to the late Marie Brown and James Gray. Stephanie grew up in Savannah, GA, being raised by her mother and stepfather, Marie & Charlie Brown.
Stephanie attended Jenkins High School. After high school, Stephanie began working as a CNA. Later in life, Stephanie was led to Gulfport, MS, where her love for patient care and servanthood led her to enroll in the nursing program at Jeff Davis Community College and graduate in 2000. This journey to MS also allowed Stephanie to discover even more family by reconnecting with long-lost relatives. Years passed after graduation, and, working as a faithful nurse, Stephanie was led to Walls, MS, where she eventually united with Derek Wright.
She went on with her career until, unfortunately, her health started to decline. She is preceded in death by her mother and stepfather, Marie and Charlie Brown. Father and stepmother, James and Inez Gray, and brother Reginald Leverette.
And she leaves in loving memory Derek Wright, Ashley (Robert) Deckard, Ivy (Michael) Pines. Charles (Briana) Smith, two brothers, Reynolds (Carla) Leverette, and Randy Leverette. 2 sisters, Nevelyn (Maurice) Davis and Alicia (Dr. Fred) McCann. A devoted friend/ sister, Tonya Davis. 10 grandchildren, 13 ni eces and nephews, seven great nieces and nephews, and a host of friends and family.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23
