Claudette B. Wright

Claudette B. (Drainville) Wright, age 85, a resident of Pelham, NH, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, November 9, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Harold E. Wright, Jr. with whom she enjoyed 48 years of marriage prior to his passing in 2010.

She was born in Lowell, MA on March 30, 1941, and was the daughter of the late Benjamin A. and Loretta A. (Leclair) Drainville.

Claudette was raised in Dracut MA and graduated from Lowell High School. Her final years of employment were spent at New England Chiropractic alongside Dr. J. Anthony Guzaj, with whom she shared a close, family-like relationship.

She enjoyed traveling, with Disney World holding a special place in her heart. However, her travels were always planned around family gatherings and special occasions, as family was truly her world. Her home and heart were always open, and even those who weren't family by blood were made to feel as though they were. She cherished the traditions of bringing everyone together, including her annual Fourth of July celebrations and fireworks on the lake. Holidays were especially dear to her and were always centered around family and friends. Whether decorating Christmas cookies, carving and decorating pumpkins, or serving as the much-anticipated official judge of these festivities, she treasured every opportunity to create memories with those she loved.

Claudette is survived by her loving daughters, Darlene W. Carter and her husband, Jay, of Nashua; Belinda A. Wright of Merrimack; and Diane L. Wright of Pelham; her son, Michael E. Wright of Pelham; seven grandchildren, Krystal, Jarrad, Desiree, Tyler, Kayla, Kacey, and Nicholas; two great-grandchildren, Kali and Owen; her brother, Benjamin Drainville, and his wife, Nancy; her sisters, Jeanine Gagliardi and her husband, John, and Susan Drainville; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 13, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Four Oaks Country Club in Dracut, MA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Claudette’s memory to either The Long Pond Clean Waters Committee, c/o Richard Lannan, 7D Taggart Drive, Nashua, NH 03060 or The Pelham NH Council on Aging, c/o Irene Hinkle, 8 Nashua Road, Pelham, NH 03076
