service, she accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord.
On March 2, 1985, she married her high school sweetheart, Minister (now Presiding
Bishop) Aaron B. Lackey. To this union, God blessed them with two beautiful and very
talented children, Aaronlyn L. (Leon) Wright and Aaron B. Lackey, Jr.

God.” Lady Lakita C. Lackey is an ordained evangelist, a highly sought out speaker and
