Educational First Steps celebrates the life and memory of Joyce Vanston Wright.
Joyce Wright was the embodiment of a community treasure. She dedicated her life to the care and concern of children, especially the ones we serve at Educational First Steps.
As one of our founders, her vision was to ensure that every child, regardless of their family’s economic circumstances, has access to quality early childhood education. It is because of her dedication that we are who we are as an organization today.
A memorial service will be held at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, 9800 Preston Road, Dallas, 75230, on August 10 at 11 AM. Her full obituary is available to read at educationalfirststeps.org/in….
