Rebecca Jean Wright Josey, age 77, of Douglas, passed away on Sunday September 23, 2018 at Coffee Regional Medical Center. Mrs. Josey was born on March 2, 1941 in Denton, the daughter of the late George Orville Wright and Lou Annie Lott Wright.

Mrs. Josey’s daughters sang a song she penned in 1971, “Oh My Lord What a Morning.” Congregational songs were “Brethren We Have Met to Worship,” “He Keeps Me Singing,” “No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus,” and “More Like the Master.” Glennis Coleman provided prelude and postlude music as well as accompaniment for the hymns.
