Davidson County 911 Mourns the Loss of Telecommunicator
Laura Everhart Davidson County, NC
It
is with profound sadness that the Davidson County 911 Emergency Communications Center announces the passing of one of our
own, 911 Telecommunicator Laura Everhart. Laura passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of excellence, dedication,
and compassion that will never be forgotten. Laura began her career with Davidson County 911 in 2020, stepping into the role
during one of the most critical times in our nation’s recent history. Even in the face of unprecedented challenges,
she quickly distinguished herself as an essential member of our team and a trusted voice on the other end of the line for
countless citizens in crisis. In her short but remarkable time with the department, Laura became a standout leader, particularly
as the Hands-Only CPR Committee Lead.
Her commitment to saving lives was not
just professional—it was personal. Laura was responsible for seven documented CPR saves during her career, a testament
to her quick thinking, skill, and calm under pressure. In the last fiscal year alone, Laura led the entire center in call
volume, answering an extraordinary 15,799 calls. Despite the demands of this role, she maintained consistent excellence in
AQUA, our rigorous Quality Assurance software—an achievement recognized by all who understand the challenges of such
work. Laura’s commitment to delivering the highest quality service never wavered. She remained in full compliance while
processing calls for service, ensuring that Davidson County residents received the urgent, professional assistance they needed
during their most vulnerable moments.
In recognition of her unparalleled dedication, Laura was named Davidson County 911’s Employee
of the Year for 2024—an honor truly earned. Laura’s peers describe her as dependable, compassionate, and the kind
of teammate who led by example. Her absence will be deeply felt across the center, but her legacy will continue to inspire
us for years to come. Davidson County 911 extends our deepest condolences to Laura’s family, friends, and colleagues.
We honor her memory by continuing to serve with the same courage and heart that she brought to work every day.
