Leah Rae Wright

April 10, 1936 - May 27, 2016

Leah was raised in a somewhat isolated family with a disabled brother. He was born normally, but had become infected with spinal meningitis as a baby. Consequently he lost his hearing and became crippled on the left side of his body. He was never able to say more than "Mama" as that was the only word he learned prior to losing his hearing. Leah seemed to be feel neglected and suffered from depression her entire life. Depression seems to help those who have an artistic lean, and while she never fully developed it, she was quite talented.
