Jo Anne Wright, age 82, of Columbia, Alabama, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on November 28, 1943, in Phoenix, Arizona, to Joseph Keeton and Lucile Keeton.

Jo Anne shared 55 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Reverend Joe Cecil Wright, before his passing. Together, they devoted their lives to ministry, traveling throughout the United States with their four children as a Pentecostal evangelist family. Through tent revivals and countless miles on the road, they shared their faith and the love of God with others. Ministry was more than a calling for Jo Anne; it was a life she shared with the people she loved most.

Above all, Jo Anne was a devoted wife and mother. Her family was the center of her world, and she dedicated her time and attention to making sure they were cared for. She enjoyed traveling with her family, baking, and keeping everything in order. She was always looking after those around her, making sure nothing was overlooked and that her family had what they needed. The years spent raising her children and sharing life’s journey with her husband were among the most meaningful parts of her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Keeton and Lucile Agnew Keeton; her husband, Reverend Joe Cecil Wright; and her grandson, Kenneth Jeffers.

Those left to cherish her memory include her daughters, Teresa Jeffers (James), Vickie Larson, and Barbara Wright; her son, David Keeton; along with several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and other loving family members.

In keeping with Jo Anne’s wishes, no services will be held at this time.
