Erika Ingrid Wendlandt

Like a butterfly, you’re free today.

Your spirit soars, a gentle grace,

A vibrant mark on time and space.

Erika Ingrid Wendlandt passed away in her home on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at the age of 45. Erika was born on Sunday, July 22, 1979, to Erik and Feato Von Wendlandt in Hollywood, CA. She left us four months short of her 46th birthday.

Erika was a beloved social butterfly and lived a full life marked by her humor, curiosity, and fun-loving personality. Her home was always open – serving as a gathering place for her friends and family. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother and will be cherished for her positive energy and infectious laughter that brought joy to so many lives.

Erika leaves behind her mother, Feato Von Wendlandt; her four children, Valerie and Brittney Wendlandt and Natalie and Sean Salas; and her two grandchildren, Aiden and Zane Yates. We wish her eternal peace and comfort. Although she is no longer with us, the memories of her will forever hold a special place in our hearts. She will always be missed and never forgotten.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 3:00 pm at the Newberry Springs, CA Community Center to celebrate her life. This service is open for everyone to attend. All donations are welcome.
