She was born on August 28, 1956, in Monticello to James and Marjorie (Cauble) Quackenbush. She was a 1974 graduate of Twin Lakes High School and later from Indiana University - Kokomo School of Nursing.

Alicia was a public health nurse for Carroll County, a surgical nurse at IU Health White Memorial Hospital, and retired as a school nurse at Roosevelt Middle School and Twin Lakes High School.

On December 14, 1974, at the Monticello Christian Church, Alicia married James G. Wright. Their 48 years of holy matrimony produced a large and loving family: James “Trent” and wife Laura, of Monticello, and their children Andrew, Oliver, and Matthew; Brandon and wife Darlena, of Monticello, and their children Keaton and Xavier; Johnathan and wife Monica, of Monticello, and his children Dayn, Payslee, and Kynlee and step-children Dylan Lucy and his son Kayne and Kiarra Lucy; and Adam and his wife Ashley, of Lafayette, and their children James “Cooper” and Connor.

Supporting her family at their events, traveling, lying by her pool, and having adventures with her friends were her favorite things to do. Alicia didn’t know a stranger and made friends quickly wherever she went. She was a long-time member of the Idaville First Church of God.

She was a loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother.

Alicia is survived by her father James, her four sons and their families, brother-in-law Don (Jacquie) Wright, sister-in-law Susie Wright, brother-in-law Tom Oilar, and numerous nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly.
