Info

Eloise Wright 9/15/1924- Eloise Larry-Wright was born in Bradenton, Florida. Her parents, Saul and Viola Larry relocated to Brooksville when she was young. Eloise is a member of one of Brooksville’s largest and oldest Black families, the Timmons Family. In many ways she represents the character of the community and a model for women. As a nontraditional college student, it would take her several years to complete her college education. Being a life-long member of Bethlehem Progressive Baptist Church, an affiliate of the National Baptist Convention, she enrolled at Bethune Cookman College (now University) in Daytona Beach, Florida. She would continue her education at Florida Memorial College (now University) in Saint Augustine, Florida. Eloise never lost sight of her goal of earning a college education and becoming a certified teacher. She balanced marriage, motherhood, and personal interests, and later career. As the racial barriers relaxed, she completed her bachelors at Saint Leo College (now university) which was a day commute from home to school. On the other hand, Eloise is a woman of a few words, not a big talker. She speaks when it is necessary, but she is someone who “says what she means and means what she says”. Anyone who has ever known Eloise will testify that she is known for her kind and encouraging words. She is a listener and observer. Her presence is registered throughout the community. Mrs. Wright taught Head Start for Hernando County School Board for 14 years and the Kindergarten for Mid-Florida Community Services the remainder of her career. She retired in 1988. Even though she is retired, she continues to inspire young people with encouraging words of wisdom. Eloise has been a long-standing member of Bethlehem Progressive Baptist Church, where she serves as a deaconess, member of the pastor’s aid committee, former choir #1 member and the kitchen committee. She was an active member of the Black Educators Caucus, Inc., of Hernando County and the Hernando County Branch NAACP. She has participated in community events and rallies and believes in exercising her voting rights. Mrs. Wright enjoys her time communicating with her many grands, working crossword puzzles, and watching her Tampa Bay Rays. Her children had a plaque placed on the Mid- Florida Community Services office wall in her honor. Eloise is a charter member of #Kelly Temple 1004, where she served as an escort. She was the only child of Saul and Viola Larry. She met and married Earl Wright, and together, their union remained for 58 years and yielded 10 children. She has a rich life. She raised her children, took classes in between, and she welcomes grandchildren and participates in most of the family milestone events, such as weddings, graduations, birthdays, celebrations of life, etc. She is blessed in more ways than one but especially with a long, healthy life, within a few years of her centennial.
