Felicia received the 2023 Virginia Gorman Award from AACCA, which honors a social services professional who is an active advocate for children. Felicia was highly respected in the state as a leader in social services over her distinguished career. She was a Licensed Master Level Alabama Social Worker (LMSW) along with being a Reasonable and Prudent Parenting Standard On Site Official and Trainer.

She was nominated by AACCA member Ellen Copeland, the retired Director of Services at St. Mary’s, and Danny Holmes, Executive Director of AGAPE of North Alabama and Treasurer of AACCA.

“Felicia was an advocate for her agency and the children and families she served,” Ms. Copeland said in the nomination form. “She always strived for fairness and what was right for her clients and agency.”

Felicia was the Senior Vice President of Program Operations and Services for the Presbyterian Home for Children when she passed away suddenly on Feb. 18. We miss Felicia every day, but we are pleased that her professional community remembers her as an advocate and a friend.
