Gloria Jean Wright Austin Hamilton (8/9/41-4/17/25). Gloria was born to Leo Paul and Velma Gloria (Houts) Wright in Terre Haute, IN. She had a special relationship with her Aunt Velma and Grandma Grace and often talked fondly of the times she spent with them and the magic in their homes. She grew up treasuring reading—her window to the world—and education as keys to unlocking the wonders and mysteries of the mind and cosmos. Her home appears as an art museum and music room. Her interests were broad, deep, and varied. Her intellect and curiosity was boundless.

 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Velma (Houts) and Paul Wright, stepmother, Betty Stroup Wright, siblings Paul, Jim, Mike, and Nancy, and nephews TD Wright and Jacob (JC) Wright.

Left to cherish her memory, miss her conversations, her remarkable capacity to listen and to understand, and lament the loss of her love and laughter are her long-time partner, Susan Britt, son Andy and his wife Mona Austin, daughter Suzi Austin, granddaughter Anna Davis Lok and husband Adrian, grandsons Nikolas and Timothy Austin, great-grands Levi, Holly, and Oscar Lok, bonus son Mark Britt, and surviving siblings Camille, Bob, Betty, and Tom.

Gloria was more special than words can capture. She leaves a profound imprint on all those who knew and loved her. There is an empty place in our lives as we cherish a life fully lived. She will forever be in our hearts.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
