In Memory of Nakeya

Nakeya Reneé Farrar was born December 28, 1983, in Durham, North Carolina. On March 2, 2026, her life ended far too soon at just 42 years old.

Behind every name we place on this memorial is a person whose life extended far beyond the communications center. Nakeya was a daughter, loved one, friend, coworker, & member of her community.

She was also one of the voices behind the headset - part of a profession built around being there when someone else needs help.

In emergency communications, we often remember people by their voice. A voice answering the phone. A voice on the radio. A voice reassuring someone during one of the worst moments of their life.

When that voice disappears, the entire communications center feels the silence.

Nakeya's service & her life deserve to be remembered.

Her shift may have ended, but her name will not be forgotten.
