She was born on June 22, 1933 in Germany.
Erika was a member of Oakland United Methodist Church and Peaks of Otter Rebekah Lodge #32. She was retired from Ericsson. Her flowers and her church were the most important things in her life. She shared her flowers everybody, especially the homebound and her church family.

Although she had no immediate family surviving, she did have many close neighbors and church friends whom she considered her family.
