LCCO Remembers Longtime Clarinetist

Updated: Jan 21

Pat Wright, LCCO's dear friend and longtime clarinetist, died in December. LCCO extends our deepest condolences to Pat's family and all who knew and cherished her. In addition to LCCO, Pat's lifelong passion for music led to her involvement with Moore County Concert Band, North Carolina Baptist Singers & Orchestra and the Global Missions Orchestra.


Pat Wright played clarinet with LCCO for three decades.
Pat Wright played clarinet with LCCO for more than 30 years.

She was also music director at Broadway Baptist Church, Countryside Presbyterian Church and Lemon Springs United Methodist Church.


"Pat was an integral part of LCCO for more than three decades," said LCCO Past President Reinette Stephenson. "Sharing her talents with several other groups, her allegiance to the orchestra was primary. "


"In later years her husband, Jim, helped her with the physical challenge of coming to her seat in the woodwind section and departing from it—a second faithful Wright!"


From her obituary: Patricia Ann Sarratt Wright, age 78, of Sanford, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 31, 2024 at Sanford Health and Rehabilitation. She was born in Gaffney, South Carolina to the late Edwin Terrance Sarratt and Annie Laura Hammett Sarratt. Patricia was a Southern Baptist missionary located in Puerto Rico for many years. Upon her return from her missionary assignment in Puerto Rico, she worked as the founding director and instructor of the Hispanic Theological Education Program at Campbell University Divinity School. This ministry is believed to be the longest running Spanish theological program in North Carolina and one that Patricia was very proud of. She also taught Spanish Classes at Central Carolina Community College for approximately 15 years. Mrs. Wright is survived by her husband of 56 years, James Wright of Sanford.
