With profound sorrow and yet unwavering faith in the will of God, Bishop Donald A. Wright, The Gathering at Forestville, and the Wright family announce the triumphant transition from Earth to Glory of Lady Nakia R. Wright, beloved wife, First Lady, and cherished pillar of the Prince George’s County community.
Lady Nakia was more than a leader — she was grace in motion. A woman of steadfast faith, wisdom, and radiant love, she embodied dignity and compassion in every space she entered. Her presence was both calming and powerful. Her prayers strengthened the weary. Her counsel uplifted the discouraged. Her smile brought light into even the heaviest rooms.
As First Lady, she served faithfully alongside her husband, offering not only support but vision, leadership, and unwavering dedication to her church family. She poured into others with authenticity and purpose, ensuring that those she encountered felt seen, heard, and valued. Her fingerprints are forever etched on the hearts of those she nurtured, mentored, and inspired.
Beyond her ministry, Lady Nakia was an accomplished professional who served at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, reflecting her intelligence, discipline, and commitment to excellence. A proud graduate of DuVal High School, she carried her roots with pride while building a life of remarkable impact and service.
To the Prince George’s County community, her passing is a tremendous loss. She was not only a spiritual leader but also a friend — a beacon of faith and compassion whose influence reached far beyond church walls. Her legacy of love, strength, and service will continue to inspire generations to come.
While hearts are heavy with grief, there is also gratitude for a life so beautifully lived. The love she gave so freely will never fade. Her legacy will continue to speak in rooms she once entered and in lives she so selflessly touched.
Official arrangements are forthcoming. The family humbly requests privacy during this sacred time and asks that continued prayers be lifted for Bishop Donald Wright, their family, and the entire church community as they navigate this profound loss.
May Lady Nakia R. Wright’s life forever remind us what it means to lead with faith, to serve with humility, and to love without measure.
