Erika was a 30-year breast cancer survivor and affectionally known as “˜Hanny”™ and “˜Grandma”™ to her eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren. She loved reading romance and mystery novels, clipping coupons and thrift store shopping. She delighted family and friends with her authentic German cooking, especially handmade spaetzle noodles and Hungarian goulash. She also made sure to always have mini pizzas, CapriSun drinks and Chips Ahoy cookies for her grandchildren.
