Earlene Marie (Shipman) Wright, 82 of Harrison, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2026, surrounded by her loving children.  She was born on November 11, 1943, in Berryville, Arkansas, to Edith and Earl Shipman.

She married her husband, Kenneth Wright, on April 9, 1960, in Green Forest, Arkansas. Together, Earlene and Kenneth raised four children: their daughter, Debbie McAlister, married to Ronnie McAlister; and three sons, Wes Wright, married to Angie Wright, Stan Wright, married to Jennifer Wright, and Steve Wright, married to Sabre Wright.

She was proud grandmother to 10 grandchildren and a cherished great-grandmother to 8 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. She will be missed dearly by all that knew and loved her.
