Felicia Beth Nekritz
Felicia Beth Nekritz was a wonderful person committed to the rights of others and the belief that all human beings deserve the best possible advocacy. Felicia manifested this passion in the State’s Attorney’s office where she served as a Juvenile Defense Lawyer. She held the fundamental belief that all people are inherently good. She feverishly defended at-risk youth and spent her spare time volunteering with the homeless as a legal resource.
Most importantly, Felicia was a vibrant soul who enjoyed life and made life better for all whom she touched. She was an athlete, writer, lawyer, and good friend to many. Despite succumbing to breast cancer in her twenties, Felicia still serves as an inspiration to many. Felicity School is committed to living up to the high ethical and moral standards demonstrated by Felicia Beth Nekritz throughout her short life. We are incredibly proud to be tied to her spirit with our name.
