Marian Elizabeth Wright was born on November 15th, 1946 to Millard and Margaret Wright in Thomas, Oklahoma and she passed away peacefully on April 18th, 2026 at Beehive Homes of Glenpool in Oklahoma. Marian was the adorable little sister to two older brothers, Millard (whom she called "Bubbie") and Mark Wright. Their father owned a drug store in Thomas, OK and one of her fondest childhood memories was walking there after school for a treat - either a coke or a milkshake. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Mathematics and starting her career, she met Milo Reno at a singles event at Grace Fellowship Church. They got married on August 11th, 1979. Together they attended Rhema Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and in 1983 they started a food outreach ministry called Loaves & Fishes Ministries in Tulsa. This ministry they founded is still operating today and feeds hundreds of families every month. Marian became a devoted mom when she and Milo adopted a baby girl, Stephanie, in 1990. She poured her life and heart into raising her daughter to love the Lord. After the death of her husband in 2016, Marian she chose to live in a senior living home to help her as her memory declined. She had a sweet love for Jesus and for those around her. She was generous and joyful. She loved reading her Bible, praying for her family and friends, and represented Christ everywhere she went. We will miss her beautiful smile and sweet spirit, but we celebrate that is she in now in the presence of the Lord.
Marian is survived by her two brothers: Millard "Bubbie" Wright and his wife Nancy, and Mark Wright. She is also survived by her daughter, Stephanie Rowe and her husband Michael. Also two stepdaughters: Becky Reno and Tracy Reynolds. She is survived by five grandchildren: CJ Reynolds, Mackenzie Reynolds, Savannah Reynolds, Asher Rowe, and Faith Rowe. She is also survived by her nieces Cindy Booth and Jessica Wright and by her nephew Charlie Wright. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, a grandchild, her sister-in-law, and her nephew, and her niece.
