Erica was a loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend whose kindness and compassion touched everyone she met. She had a heart of gold and was known for always putting others before herself. Her gentle spirit, warm smile, and caring nature will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially cooking delicious meals for her family, watching good movies, and spending precious time entertaining and making memories with her beloved grandchildren.
