Theresa Wright

Theresa Lynn Wright, daughter of Connie Williams Bennett of Illinois and the late Gilbert Carlyle, was born Dec. 8, 1965, in Sikeston, Missouri, and passed away Friday, May 19, 2023, with her precious granddaughters by her side in Scott County, Missouri, at the age of 57 years.

To know her was to love her. She was a loving mother, a wonderful wife and a faithful friend. She had many talents and took much pride in her work. There wasn't much she could not do. If she didn't know how to do it, she would figure it out and give it her all. Theresa was a giver. She loved fiercely and will be missed by so many. Her love was endless, life was a true testament, and she was a force to be reckoned with.

Survivors include her husband, Cleo Wright; two daughters, Brittany (Joshua) Zyduck and Taylor (Cody) Tuttle, who she loved more than life; two brothers, Greg (Nikki) Carlyle and Brent (Amanda) Carlyle; mother and stepfather, Connie and Keith Bennett; sister-in-law, Vicki (Rod) Carroll; brother-in-law, Alan (Vicki) Wright; nieces and nephews, Dana (Josh) Hann, Beth (Alex) Friese, Josh Carroll, John Adams, Vanessa Adams, Kobe Hann, Kash Hann, Carlee Hayden Marshall, Cameron and Chance Adams, Baily and Matt Compass, Brooke (Mike) Carlyle-Riordan, Blake (Addie) Carlyle, Dayton Compass, Cooper Carlyle, Parker Carlyle, Brandon Hunter, Rowdy and Brent Jr. Carlyle and Gracie and Rylee Burns; loved and cherished grandchildren, the light of her life, Gavin, Chloe and Zayden Zyduck and Railyn and Harper Grace Tuttle; and special family and friends, Carla and Rodney Carlyle, Jan (Rick) Morgan and Julie and Kevin Upchurch.
