Jennean Petersen Wright's Obituary
Jennean Petersen Wright passed away holding her sweetheart’s hand on June 8, 2020. Jennean was born on Christmas day, 1951, in Provo, Utah. Born to her parents, Lynn and LoRaine Petersen, she was the second of four children.
She met her sweetheart and eternal companion Brent Wright while dragging Center Street in Provo and married on December 4, 1971. They were later sealed in the Provo Utah Temple.
Jennean was a bright light wherever she went. She served in various callings and put her whole heart into it. She was known for her craftiness and could often be found crocheting scrubbies or painting projects free handed. She loved serving others and had a selflessness about her that couldn’t be matched.
Everyone she met remembers her infectious smile and positive attitude no matter what life threw at her. Though she had many health problems, she lived life to the fullest and loved deeply. Her pride and joy were her 14 grandbabies. They loved their Grammy so much and will miss her dearly.
She is preceded in death and finally reunited with her infant daughter, Jennifer. Her parents, Lynn and LoRaine. Her brothers Ron and Brent, and many others who will be dancing alongside her on the other side.
She is survived by her husband Brent, her sister Patricia Petersen, and her children Jeremy (Cindy) Wright, Hayden (Brent) Pruitt, Calvin Wright, Kelden (Boden) Goulding, Weston Wright, and her bonus daughter LeAnn (Luke) Nelson.
The family would like to thank her dialysis family at Davita in Provo. Thank you for being our second family for many years. She looked forward to seeing each of you and loved you all very much.
A viewing will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2020 from 10:00-11:30 AM with a funeral to follow. Due to Covid-19 restrictions we are inviting family only to attend the funeral. This will be held at the Provo Utah Stake Center at 1315 E 900 S, Provo, Utah 84606.
