The men and women of the San Francisco Police Officers Association extend sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of Louise Wright. She died September 13, 2010 at the age of 78.
Louise was a fond and familiar face at the POA for more than 28 years, and was one of the longest serving staff members in the organization. Her husband, retired sergeant Gale Wright, is a past editor of the association newspaper, and Louise once worked as a typesetter for Howard Quinn Printing, the shop that has printed the POA papers for more than 40 years.
Louise served under 8 elected POA presidents, and half that many editors. Amid the chaos and turmoil that seems to descend on the POA office on a daily basis, Louise was a rock of calm and composure. Her ready smile, quiet demeanor, and sense of humor were much appreciated by her co-workers and the members who would come and go through the course of a day. She will be very fondly remembered by all of us who have worked or served with her at the POA over the last four decades.
