Maxine Alberta (Skinner) Wright, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother went to be with the Lord on March 12, 2010 after suffering a stroke at Manchester, NH. She was 98 years old. Born June 8, 1911 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Maxine and her parents, Mabel (Rand) and Frank Skinner, emigrated in 1927 to Wellesley, MA. Maxine was a graduate of Wellesley High School. While at work in 1931, Maxine met and soon married Charles Wright of Natick. They raised 3 children during the Great Depression and WW II years. After several moves in the New England area, the Wrights built a ranch home in Sherborn, MA residing there for 27 years until retiring to Mashpee on Cape Cod. They returned to West Natick in 1998. After Charles’ death in 2001, Maxine came to live with her daughter Janet Clark, in Londonderry, NH. During the 1960-1980 period, the couple enjoyed many summer camping trips throughout New England, traveling crosscountry and in Canada to see family in Alberta, British Columbia and California.

She performed in various churches including Fiske Methodist Church in Natick, Pilgrim Church in Sherborn, and with the Mashpee Community Singers.
