Erica Renee Elder

Erica Renee Elder, born November 20, 1982, was called home by our Heavenly Father on June 20, 2018. She was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and attended Westview High School. Erica was a beloved daughter, a devoted sister, remarkable aunt, a fun-loving cousin, and loyal friend.

You are a Precious Original that can never be replaced and will be dearly missed. We love you Erica.

She was a lover of music (especially explicit rap), her family and friends, the clothing brand ‘Guess,’ and a sugar connoisseur. You would often see Erica driving in the car, singing her rap songs with a family or friend passenger while wearing Guess clothing with a purse full of sugar.

Her humor and kindness drew you in. She was the gal everyone wanted to be friends with. Anyone who knew her knew her presence brought laughter, silliness, and jokes.

We can't forget her generosity, she hated seeing any one without. She would buy you a ticket to a concert just to hang out with you. She was always there pitching in for parties, ready to help out in any way she could. Her vivacious spirit, humor, and generosity will stay with us forever.
