About Nadria

Nadria Leeann Wright was born on July 6, 2001, to Adrian Wright and Shaunda Hamilton in St. Peters, Missouri.

Nadria, the youngest of four children, a sister and two brothers, was affectionately called Nay Nay, a name given to her by the youngest of her brothers, who could not pronounce her name. ‘Nay Nay’ then became used by all that knew and loved her.

She graduated from Battle High School in Columbia, Missouri, before attending Columbia College in pursuit of a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing. It was her dream to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist. 

Nadria is remembered by those who knew her and met her as being ambitious, courageous, kind, soft spoken, tenacious, competitive, and an encourager to others. 

Nadria had a deep passion for running competitively, and although she was shy at times, Nadria also loved being a part of teams and tried her hand at many sports. Nadria also loved meeting new people and learning about other cultures, and she was excited to stay in the international dorm at Columbia College. She loved to travel and wanted to continue traveling in her nursing career once she completed her studies.

Nadria loved all of her family and friends tremendously and unconditionally, especially her nephews. She truly had a loving heart for all.
