Sandra Ann Wright

Sandra Ann Wright, of Chatfield, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, at her home in Chatfield.

Sandra Ann Schneckloth was born in Rochester December 19, 1956, to Gerald and Rita (Christopher) Schneckloth. She grew up in Racine, Minn., and graduated in 1975 from Stewartville High School. She met Paul Wright at the roller rink in Stewartville and they were married in 1976. They moved to Chatfield where they raised their four children. Sandra enjoyed being a stay at home mom to her children until she found a passion with the meat processing industry. Through her years she worked for Huckstadt Meats, R Four Meats and then joined her son at Wright Meats. Sandra had a heart of gold, a work ethic like no other, and loved spending time with her grandchildren. Her family was everything to her, she never missed a birthday or anniversary. Paul was the love of her life.
