Mrs. LaKina Lavonne Pike Morgan was born on December 17, 1970, in Maryland. She was preceded in death by her mother, Jean Pike.
LaKina had a love for music which she expressed through dancing and singing. She was the life of any party and always the first to hit the dance floor. LaKina also enjoyed modeling and organized annual fashion shows for the youth in her community as well as for her family’s community in Southeast D.C. Driven by her desire to uplift the youth, she used music and fashion as creative outlets to inspire and empower them.
LaKina explored various sectors of healthcare and was very knowledgeable in the field. She often joked about being “Dr. Bombay, ”referencing" the quirky character from Bewitched.
After leaving Washington, D.C., LaKina made her home in High Point, NC where she resided for seven years.
She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.
LaKina is survived by her son Jaden Morgan; her father, Clyde Pike Jr. (Adeline); her sister, Lalani Pike; her brother, Thomas Pike (Preslyn); and three nieces, Melba Bryan, Harlym Pike, and Dallas Pike. She is also remembered fondly by three great-nieces: Madison, Honor, and Indigo: a great-nephew, Noah her beloved cat, Savvy; and a host of cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.

Lakina and I were classmates OHHS c/o she always had a smile or something positive to say. Never a dull moment whenever she was around. She was like Sunshine always bright and full of love and energy. She always made you smile whenever she knew you were in a bad mood. She will be missed dearly
Sending my deepest condolences. LaKina and I shared OHHS memories (if it wasn't for her I dont think I would have passed any of my math classes!) A beautiful soul and gentle heart. Rest Well.
