RIP Felicia Mahmood



Several EVG readers have shared the sad news that Felicia Mahmood, a longtime East Ninth Street resident, passed away on April 14. One reader said that she was 51. A cause of death was not disclosed.

Here's part of a tribute to her via the La Plaza Cultural Facebook page...

Felicia was a community leader, a mainstay of the 9th Street Block Association, a friend to all children and a huge part of the garden. Her infinite kindness, big laugh and bigger heart will be sorely missed.

The folks at La Plaza plan to host a memorial for her later this spring or summer — depending on the construction currently taking place in the community garden on the southwest corner of Ninth Street and Avenue C.

There's a memorial service for Felicia tomorrow afternoon from 3-5 at the St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery, Second Avenue at 10th Street...

There's a makeshift memorial for Felicia outside her apartment building on Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C (thanks to Eden for the photo)...
