Lori Anne Wright
Lori Anne Wright, 60, of Seneca Rocks passed away peacefully on July 17, 2026, at WV Caring Hospice Center in Elkins, after a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born on Friday, Sept. 17, 1965, to Jay C. Rhodes and the late Margo J. (Wright) Ostensoe in Fairfax, Virginia.
Ms. Wright was a 1983 graduate of Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia.
She came to West Virginia in the mid ’90s and fell in love with the majestic natural beauty of the state that she would call home for the rest of her life. She worked for many years as a scalemaster at Greer Limestone in Riverton, where she retired in 2014.
She was known to be very easygoing and down-to-earth and to have a strong heart, a brilliant mind, and a beautiful soul, by all those around her. She touched all those around her with her exceptional kindness, love, care, and generosity, and she always helped those in need. Many in the family upheld her as a role model.
She had a lifelong love of travel, music, gardening, old Volkswagens, the ocean, and animals.
She was an active supporter of the American Cancer Society and attended many Relay for Life events.
