In 1970, that is when Erma and Warren Wright Sr. decided to move to Toledo, Oh.  She loved going to church worshipping and serving the Lord.  She loved spending time with family and would volunteer for events when they came around.  She loved sewing and cooking especially if she knew your birthday was coming around she would make you a delicious birthday platter.
