BLIND SIDED: Hyacinth after her husband died told news media that she encouraged her husband to take his children from the UK, and she raised them, as a second mother, without any contention between her and them – from their high school years to their college years, before they went back to England to live. She told reporters that she encouraged her husband to make a will and place his kids as beneficiary to the house, but she would keep the contents in the home.
The news media published parts of a letter sent to her, labeling her as their “guest,” without means to afford to contest them, and asked her to move or they would be forced to take actions.
The former Falmouth mayor’s wife was forced to relocate to the old family premises on Victoria Street where she dwelt on a section of a small shop from which she sold craft items.
One very close friend of the deceased stated that since 2014, Hyacinthia as been locked in the heated court battle with her four step children but, it was mentioned in court that Joseph Wright willed the house to all four children but, the entire content he willed to his wife Hyacinthia with instructions allegedly stating that, she should live at the home without being molested.
