Nancy was born in Abington, PA on June 14, 1960 to loving parents, Dr. Tom and Marilyn
Wright. Nancy was the only daughter and middle child of three children. She spent her entire life
in the Abington community and had a strong sense of family, community and faith. Nancy
graduated from Abington High School in 1978 and went on to earn a degree from Hollins
College (University) in Roanoke, VA in 1982 and from Temple University School of Law in
Philadelphia, Pa in 1985.

Nancy was a member of the Montgomery County and Pennsylvania Bar Associations and
practiced law for over 37 years with the law firm of McBride Murphy and later Richard McBride

presence in the Montgomery County Courts.

Nancy was ebullient, generous, and intensely interested in others. She had a passion for horses
and riding her entire life. She was a lifelong member of Grace Presbyterian Church in
Jenkintown, PA and served in many roles and capacities there. She provided volunteer legal
services to women through a domestic violence agency. Nancy loved to provide conversation
and food to friends, neighbors, church members and others who needed support. Nancy served
as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Abington Memorial Hospital Foundation for
several years and, more recently, as a Trustee of the Abington Township Free Library.
