“Peachy” Rosalie McKay Wright, 67, of Stephens City, Virginia passed away Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at her residence surrounded by her family and friends. Her passing was due to complications of COPD caused from smoking.
Mrs. Wright was born in 1949 in Winchester, Virginia, the daughter of the late Johnathan W. “Corky” and Dale V. McKay. She graduated from James Wood High School, class of 1967. Peachy worked in the customer service department for Rubbermaid and Valley Proteins, then as a caregiver for Home Instead. She was a member of the Pilot Club, volunteered at the Shenandoah Valley Center for Aging, as well as for the Stephens City Volunteer Fire Department. Peachy loved to travel and go to the beach with friends and family. She collected camel figurines, liked to “play in the dirt,” was an avid reader, a Cowboys fan, and a classical music fan – especially of Tchaikovsky’s music. Most of all, she enjoyed being around people, her friends, and family.
Her husband, David “Michael” Wright, whom she married in Stephens City, Virginia, on August 22, 1987, preceded her in death in 2003.
Surviving are daughter, Keightley R. Henry (significant other, Lanny Tinsman), Stephens City, VA; son, Shane P. Henry (significant other, Beth Elgin), Winchester, VA; sister, Ruth “Tweety” Eastep, Winchester, VA and a cousin who was like a sister, Myrlin D. Borror-Taylor (Gil), Winchester, VA.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, June 16, 2016 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Omps Funeral Home, South Chapel.
A funeral service will be conducted at 2:00 PM, Friday, June 17, 2016 at Omps Funeral Home, South Chapel, with Dr. Reverend Sara Hudson officiating. Interment will follow at Shenandoah Memorial Park.
Following the services, family and friends are invited back to the Stephens City Volunteer Fire Department, 5346 Mulberry St., Stephens City, VA 22655 for a time of food and fellowship. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share.

I am very blessed to have Peachy in my life as my dear and close friend. We shared many good times and shared life's hard times too. Peach taught me many things but the most precious one was how to love people. I will always remember our "Daisey" rides and the fun we had. I will miss her every day but she will always live in my heart.

So sad I had not had the chance to get up to see Peachy before she passed due to myself being ill. My husband Jim and I were good friends with Mike and Peachy in the 90s miss them both. Rest in Peace Peachy.

Connie Prussian left a message on June 16, 2016:
I am so sorry to lose Peachy. Peachy was the kind of person who would listen to other's problems, help them if she could, cared for everyone and never said a bad word about anyone. Peachy had been a special friend of mine for over 50 years. Even though we were on the opposite side of the world for the last 26 years, telephone and e-mail kept us close together. I thank God that she knew Him and trusted Him and now will live in Heaven forever with all of her Christian family and friends. I pray that her family can take comfort knowing that she is in a better place looking down on all of us with her beautiful smile.

We are so saddened by the loss of Peachy. She was a great lady. We remember her from JWHS days. She always had a smile and showed deep concern for others. She will be greatly missed. May the family be blessed by knowing there are many people who care. Praying that God will grant you His peace that passes our understanding.
