“I am thankful for the trust and confidence placed in me by the Calvary Cemetery Board” said Wright. “I have a lifelong connection to Calvary as many of my own family members are buried at Calvary Cemetery. As I embark upon this new ministry, I hope to lead with the Gospel mission of love, caring for all those buried at Calvary as if they were my own family.”
Calvary Cemetery would also like to thank Rick Meade for his dedicated service. During Rick’s tenure he oversaw many cemetery expansions, including the St. Kateri Preserve for Natural Burial and Garden of Peace Columbarium. According to Meade, “It has truly been a blessing and privilege to serve the Calvary Cemetery Association; Calvary is a wonderful asset in our community serving as a haven of peace, rest and tranquility while providing 200 acres of natural beauty.
