Erika... you will be loved forever and always

With deep sorrows, we share that Erika Krinock has passed on January 13th, 2022. Erika left behind her three children, four grandchildren, sisters and brothers, family in Germany, and many more. She was born in Germany on April 24th, 1949. She gave birth to Bellinda and Gene before coming to the United States where she then had Joanne.

Everyone that knows her knows she was a firecracker of a person. She was the tiny, stern, stubborn German lady. People came to her with their daily issues for a sound voice. She never hesitated to lend out a helping hand to anyone in need, including taking people in and letting them stay in her own home, giving out what little she had.

Erika worked until the day she went to the hospital.. even at 72 years of age. She cleaned and waitressed locally around the shoreline and brought home weekly earnings. Unfortunately, Erika could not continue to pay for life insurance due to the outrageous price. The death of Erika was sudden and traumatic. There was no time to prepare for the end-of-life expenses.

If you are able to contribute, the family greatly appreciates it, and we know Erika would as well. If unable to, we understand but please keep her in your prayers.

P.S. - you're all schweinhunds ;)... (Erika's favorite word to call people)
