Christine L. Wright (Tina), 65, passed away peacefully at her home in Princeton on Wednesday, February 17th, 2016 after a brief illness.
Born in Goodland, Kansas, Tina moved to Princeton in 1990 to take up a position at the Educational Testing Service, where she worked for twenty two years before her retirement in 2012. As a leader in the Assessment Development English Language Learning Department, she worked in test development and administration.
Always the adventurer, Tina moved to Laramie, Wyoming, to earn a Bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Wyoming, where she met her husband Ashley W. Wright, an English and journalism major. Their travels in the Pacific and Asia together took them to Hawaii, where Tina earned a Master's degree at the University of Hawaii in teaching English as a Second Language and then on to Hong Kong, where she and her husband lived for 14 years before moving to Princeton. Tina taught specialized English as a second language at Hong Kong University.
Tina loved language and music and was a voracious reader, passions she instilled in her Hong Kong-born twin daughters, Ashley and Leslie.
Tina was predeceased by her father, Dr. David Lasley, her biological mother and her brother David Lasley Jr. She is survived by her husband Ashley W. and their two daughters, Dr. Leslie L. Wright and Ashley E. Wright; her stepmother Ina Katherine Wells and her husband Bob Wells; her brother Spencer Lasley and his wife Ann, and her brother Rod Lasley and
his wife Kimberly.
At Tina's request, no services were held. Her family will gather to scatter her ashes in the Rocky Mountains at a later date.
Memorial contributions in her memory to Medecins Sans Frontieres (DoctorsWithoutBorders.org/donate) are appreciated.
