Audrie E. (Powers) Wright of Greensboro, Vt., (formerly of Waterford, Vt.) died on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2014, at the age of 85. Audrie was born in Waterford in October 1929, the second youngest child of Glenn and Eva (Page) Powers. She graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy's Class of 1947, and married Rolla Wright Jr. on her 18th birthday that year. They settled near their families' farms in Waterford and together raised five children. As a younger woman, Audrie enjoyed reading, swimming and fishing for brook trout. She and Rolla taught their children to know and appreciate the wildflowers and animal life of the Northeast. Favorite places included the Old Swimming Hole beside the little red schoolhouse on Shadow Lake Road in Concord, Vt.; Dodge Pond in Lyman, N.H., and Long Sands Beach in York, Maine. Picnics, going out for ice cream, and listening to WSTJ and her favorite singer, Elvis Presley, created special memories. For many years she was an active member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church of St. Johnsbury, Vt. Audrie is survived by her children and their families; E. Lynne and husband Douglas Mitchell of Fort Ann, N.Y.; Kathryn Bennett of Hendersonville, N.C.; Leonard and Lanette Wright of Danville, Vt.; Lyle and Sheryl Wright of Princeton, W.V.; and Amy Brill and Scott Brill of Sutton, Vt. She has 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister and brother, Geneva Wright and Willard Powers, both of Waterford, Vt., and many nieces and nephews. Services will take place on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015, at 2 p.m. at the Guibord Funeral Home in Lyndonville, Vt.
