Remembering Donna Wright

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of Donna Wright's passing on 11/29/2023 in Spokane, Washington. Donna was not only a dedicated REALTOR® but also a true leader in our industry for over 40 years. She served on countless committees and the Board of Directors at the local, state, and national levels. Additionally, she held the esteemed position of National Vice-President of the Women's Council of REALTORS®.

In recognition of her outstanding achievements, Donna received several prestigious awards, including the Snohomish County REALTOR® of the Year Award (where she also served as President), the Washington REALTOR® Lifetime Achievement Award, the National Association REALTOR® Active in Politics Award, the honor of being an Omega Tau Rho recipient, and the National Association REALTOR® Emeritus status.

Beyond these titles and accolades, Donna cherished the relationships she built with countless members and staff. Her impact extended far beyond her accomplishments, touching the hearts of everyone she encountered. 

A memorial service will be held on December 4th at 12 pm at the Assembly of God in St. John, Washington. Donna's family is working to have the service streamed online, and further details will follow.
