Nagwa graduated from Ein Shams University in Cairo, Egypt with a Masters in Accounting.  She was employed as an Accountant for Cairo International Airport, and most recently at Wegmans of Collegeville, PA.

She was a member of St. Mary and St. Mercurius and St. George Coptic Orthodox Churches of Greater Philadelphia.

She is survived by her son, Ehab Bichay, and companion Shayna, of Bear, DE; and Sister, Nelly Ishak, and husband Maged, of Chicago, IL.
