Ellen Wright Hayden

Ellen Wright Hayden, 82, of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina suddenly went to be with her Lord on Saturday, June 12, 2021. Ellen was born on August 20, 1938 to the late Virginius Warren Wright and Florence Allison Wright.

Ellen was a lifetime resident of Fredericksburg until she retired to Spring Hill, Florida for some time, and finally spending the last 10 years residing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ellen retired as a Contract Specialist for the Department of Defense in 1995. Her passions in life were many, but none were held as close to her heart as her family and friends. All who met her, knew she never met a stranger. If you were one who called her friend, you never had a more genuine one. 

Ellen was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to all. She was a very ambitious, strong, independent, and extremely stubborn woman, loved by all who met her.

Survivors include her daughter, Cathy Truslow (Joe); granddaughters Katie and Kellie Truslow; brother Richard Wright (Jean); and several nieces and nephews Jeffery Ballard, Paul Ballard (Karen), Debbie Harvey (Jerry), Michael Wright and Rodney Wright (Kathryn). Ellen was preceded in death by her sister, Marjorie Wright.

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. (arrive by 1:30 p.m.) on Thursday, June 17, 2021 at Oak Hill Cemetery, 1902 Plank Road, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401.
