Kathy Marie Streett's Obituary
Kathy Marie Streett, 68, of Lewes, was born July 23, 1954, to Howard J. Wright and Wilda A. Wright. Kathy departed this life on the morning of Friday, June 9, 2023.
Kathy graduated from Cape Henlopen High School and attended Delaware Technical Community College. She retired as a financial secretary from the Cape Henlopen School District in 2022.
Kathy was preceded in death by her father Howard J. Wright Sr.; mother Wilda A Wright, and grandson Malakai Z. Jones.
Kathy was known for being a detail-oriented and systematic problem solver. She loved to supervise any project and tell you how you could improve upon it. Her sharp wit was characteristic of the Wright bloodline. Her favorite pastime was shopping at the local stores for bargains to brag about. Like her parents, she took pride in making her yard an oasis-there was never a lack of flowers. Her son-in-law and daughter had their own personal security system as they would receive a call within moments if anything or anyone looked out of place across the street including wildlife. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she went above and beyond to celebrate it- this included a healthy competition of “who would get their tree up first” with the house across the street. She and Melvyn loved helping in the nursery at Dagsboro Church of God. They were both faithful to help with fundraisers for the Boys and Girls Club located at the church as well.
Kathy will be missed by a host of family members and friends. She is survived by her husband of nearly 50 years, Melvyn T. Streett, of Lewes; her daughter Shelly (Arthur) Jones, of Lewes; her son Eric Streett, of Millsboro; her grandchildren Austin Jones, Caleb Jones, Kayleigh Paolillo, and Kealen Streett; her brothers Howard J.(Daisey) Wright Jr., Danny (Debbie) Wright, Ronney (Donna) Wright, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Celebration of Life Service will be held at Watson Funeral Home 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, DE 19966 on Thursday June 15, at 12:00. The viewing will be held from 11:00-12:00 prior to the Service. Burial will be held immediately following the service at Indian Mission United Methodist Church 22701 Indian Mission Road, Harbeson, DE.
