MARYLIN JUNE WRIGHT

Marylin June Phillips-Wright was born in Kansas City, Kansas on June 10, 1954 to the late Henry B. Phillips of Oklahoma and Rosie Lee Seals of Fort Smith, Arkansas. She was the sixth child of nine children.

 Marylin was a logical, strong and God-fearing woman; who was unique and caring. Her strong faith in God blessed the lives of so many people that she came across.

On September 14, 1990, Marylin married her husband, James and gained 8 more children that she cared for and loved.

Marylin attended Kansas City, Kansas Community College, majoring in accounting; her path broadened, and it became clear as God opened the door for her at Boilermaker’s National Health & Welfare Funds where she started out in the mailroom and retired being one the first African American accountants at the company.

She loved the lord and devoted her time studying GOD’s word and listening to gospel music. She enjoyed attending Living Word
