Erika Craig

Craig, Erika, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, unexpectedly became an angel in the heavenly choir on September 8, 2015. Erika was born October 12, 1949 in Arth, Switzerland to Meinrad and Suzanne Horat and was married to Darrel in Arth in January 1969. She had resided in Fullerton since 1979 after living with Darrel in many European countries following his work with Hughes Aircraft Co. She enjoyed singing with the local Swiss choir, bringing her effervescent smile and charm to the many functions she attended. Erika loved spending time with her grandchildren, whether it was swimming or having sleep overs. Grossmami will be sorely missed by all. Erika is survived by her husband of 46 years Darrel, daughter Julia (Scott) Paullin and sons Darrel Jr. and Daniel and grandsons Michael and Randy Paullin and Oliver Craig. Erika is also survived by sisters Resli, Susy, Irene, Pia and Monika and brothers Meiri, Fredy and Werner, all of whom reside in Switzerland. A memorial service will be held on September 18, 2015 at 11:00am at McAulay and Wallace Mortuary in Fullerton. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in her name to the Orange County chapter of the American Cancer Society, Orange County Chapter, 11250 Warner Ave., Fountain Valley, CA 92708-4116
