Linda Ann Wright
Linda Massey’s journey through life began on September 18, 1950, in Cleveland, Ohio, and concluded surrounded by love on November 11, 2026, as she passed away peacefully after a short illness. Linda was a cherished daughter of the late Harry C. Massey and Bonita P. Massey (née Plessinger). A beloved sister to Pamela Jones of Thomasville, NC, and Carl Massey of Lugoff, SC, Linda was predeceased by her husband, Donald G. Wright, Sr., her brother Michael Massey, and her sister Cecile David.
Linda was a proud graduate of Cloverleaf Senior High School, class of 1968. Her pursuit of knowledge led her to The University of Akron, where she achieved her Associate’s degree in Applied Business Office Administration in 1989. Driven and dedicated, Linda realized her dream of working in an office, inspired by her grandmother. She excelled as a bookkeeper for 25 years, a testament to her diligence and passion for her work.
Her life was enriched by her two sons, Michael J.(Ashley) Dockus of Dunwoody, GA, and Brian N.(Brenda) Dockus of Huntsville, AL, and her treasured grandchildren, Samantha (JC) Edwards of Apple Creek, Oh, William D. Dockus of Roan Mountain, TN, and Jack and Royce Dockus of Dunwoody, GA, and great-grandchildren Dyson, Dean, and Dawson Edwards of Apple Creek, Oh. Linda’s family, including her numerous nieces and nephews, was the heart of her existence. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and great-grandmother, always present with a warm smile and an open heart.
Linda was a woman of many interests. An avid reader, she found joy in the pages of countless books and delighted in the excitement of the gaming network, where her intelligence shone brightly. Though she often described herself as shy, Linda had a remarkable gift for transforming strangers into friends with her cheerful greetings and genuine warmth. Her love for animals and her family was boundless, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
