Former Garfield (NJ) police dispatcher Mary Mayka has died at age 72 after a period of declining health. Mayka spent 20 years as a police dispatcher starting in 1983, and was then joined by her daughter Lynee Russo five years later. The two formed an unusual mother-daughter dispatching team until 2003, when Mayka transferred to the police department’s records unit. Police chief Robert Andrezzi praised Mayka’s work at the department, describing her as a mother figure to many of the younger officers.
