MILBRIDGE – Carolyn Ann (Clark) Wright, 91, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2025 after a short illness. She was born in Jonesport, ME on January 18, 1934, the daughter of Percy and Leona Clark. She was educated in Jonesport schools, graduating from Jonesport High School in 1952.

Carolyn and her husband of 66 years Donald K. Wright, Sr. moved to Milbridge in 1960, where they raised their two sons, Donnie, Jr. and Jeff.

Nearing retirement, she worked close to home at Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Company in Milbridge.

Carolyn enjoyed accompanying Donnie to Anah Shrine events and outings, traveling throughout the northeast and beyond, making many lifelong friends and acquaintances along the way.
