Erika Michelle Erb

Erika loved life- however, there was nothing in this world she loved as much as her daughters Ruby and Dot. She had an adventurous spirit and loved to travel- especially to the Pacific Coast. She received her degree in Environmental Science- and was an avid collector of rocks, minerals and crystals. She spent time being creative which was evident in her art, writing, and businesses. She cherished the beauty of nature and gardening- something she shared with her mom and passed onto her girls. She had a kind heart which she shared while helping those in addiction recovery. Everyone will miss her unique wit and humor- it added a spark of joy into every conversation.

She is survived by the loves of her life- Daughters Ruby and Dot ( Dorothy) and their father Matt Salvator.

Parents- Susan Erb of Columbus Ohio, and Milton(Lisa) Erb Jr of Dover Ohio. Devoted stepmother Dee (Johnny) Harvey. Sister Roxanne Peffers and nieces and nephews Ava, Clai, Chevelle, Laila and Clyde.
