Studied millinery arts, Salt Lake City, Utah; landscape architecture, New York; studied French & German at CSI; and was a constant student of business, spending 75 years marketing horticulture commodities to the retail trade.
From the day she was married to LOYD K. WRIGHT, she worked side by side with him in the nursery industry.
