ST. REGIS — Rose “Rosie” Mary Wright was born in Lubbock, Texas, on Aug. 20, 1941, to Solomon C. Hayhurst and Alma Hayhurst and passed away on Feb. 23, 2023. She grew up in Belen, New Mexico, and married Charlie O. Wright on June 1, 1958. Charlie and Rosie moved to Ronan in 1966. Rosie had many jobs while living in Ronan, from checking at the Normandeau’s grocery store, selling appliances at Jerry Akers’ store, selling clothing at Audrey’s, working at Ronan State Bank, belly dancing with her friends, grooming dogs at the veterinary clinic, and finally as a medical transcriptionist at St. Lukes Hospital and later at the Clark Valley Hospital in Plains, Montana. She was a member of the Faith Lutheran Church in Ronan until she moved to St. Regis to live on the beautiful Clarks Fork River with Charlie in 2000. She lived the remainder of her life enjoying the beauty and wildlife that abound on the river.
Rosie is survived by her husband, Charlie “Chuck” Wright of 64 years; her daughter, Holly Colleen (and Randy Reed) of Nye Montana; son, Charles “Randy” Wright (and Ava Wright) of Ronan; two granddaughters, Jessica Sims (and Sri Rupa) and Jessi Dunkerson (and Carl Dunkerson); and two great- grandchildren, Kaydynce and Tristen Dunkerson.
Rosie leaves behind many, many, many great friends. She was always so happy and the life of the party. She will be greatly missed.
There will be a celebration of Rosie’s life at a later date. The family will make that announcement once services and celebration have been planned.
