In recognition of employees who have died, the TSA training room at Memphis International Airport has been designated as the “TSA-MEM Memorial Training Room.”

A dedication ceremony was held March 13 to honor three members of the TSA Memphis workforce who have died: LTSO Kevin Joiner, and TSOs Betty Sheetz-Rohrbacher and Ephraim Honeysucker.

“It is appropriate that we find a way in the workplace to remember and honor our deceased co-workers who have served our nation,” said FSD Kevin McCarthy. “Dedicating our training room in their memory, a room that almost all of our officers pass through every day, is the best way to do that.”

TSA employees were joined at the dedication ceremony by family members of the deceased workers. A memorial plaque with the names of the former employees was unveiled during the ceremony and later placed at the entrance to the training room. Family members were presented with TSA Memphis coins and certificates that honored their loved ones’ service with the agency.
