Elsie Vernece (Wright) Goosby was born on May 7, 1934, to Hubert Wright Sr. and Lula Belle Roberts-Wright in Pulaski, Illinois, and transitioned to her heavenly home on July 6, 2022.
Elsie, a meek and quiet spirit, lived independently through most of her golden years. She was affectionately called "little lady" by her niece Brittany. She loved to spend time with her siblings either sitting on the enclosed porch, attending family gatherings, or simply chatting on the phone. In her pastime, she enjoyed completing crossword puzzles, watching MSNBC or her favorite TV shows, Family Feud, American Idol, her daily soap operas, as well as the moments she traveled to various cities and states with her nieces. She was dearly loved by her family, friends, and all who encountered her presence. Elsie worked in the healthcare field for several years, prior to retiring, and worked a few additional years in the senior program. She was a member of First Ebenezer Baptist Church where she served on the usher board.
Elsie was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Hubert Jr. and Harold Edward Wright, and sisters Willie Mae Bledsoe, and Lulabelle Cannon. She leaves to cherish her fond memory one sister Pearlie "Louise" Miller, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends. The warmth and joy of her presence will forever live in our hearts.
Visitation will be held Friday 12 to 1 pm with funeral to follow at 1:00 pm at Osborne Funeral Home.
