Felicity School

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. For Felicia, this manifested itself in her 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 as a legal assistance to the homeless.

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 fourteen years ago, Felicia still serves as an inspiration to many.

Felicity School was set up in Felicia’s honor and 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.
