Douglas Fleming Wright

Doug Wright, my dear husband for over 70 years, passed peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, at Trinity Hospice, Kamloops, BC, at the age of 93. When he retired from his position of Production Manager of medical isotopes at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Ottawa, in 1984, we headed west to Nanaimo, BC, where we enjoyed 30 years of new friendships, curling, hiking, camping, volunteer work - and most importantly, golf! At one point, he was President of MISGA, Mid-Island Seniors Golf Association.

Together we enjoyed exploring the world, often with golf bags in tow, by car, bus, train, or a cruise ship. We left Nanaimo in 2014, moving to Kamloops, BC, to be closer to family. He will be greatly missed by his children: Sue Wright; Wendi (Jim) Fitger; Ken (Cheryl) Wright; and Patti (Marvin) Miller. He dearly loved the grandchildren: Cris (Jason) Stobbe; Sabrina Magnus; Calah Wright; Sam and Susanna Basden. Sadly, he was predeceased in 2017 by our grandson, Travis (Sarah) Wright. His only brother, David W Wright, QC (Jean) died in 2013. Blessed with great-grandchildren: Ethan Stump; Jakob and David Stobbe; Autumn and Erik Wright. A celebration of life for Doug is being planned for early summer. His favourite poem was “The Cremation of Sam McGee” which terrified his kids sitting around the campfire. Our family wishes to thank the nursing staff of Trinity Hospice for their loving care.
