Erika Wood

By Sun Advocate

LAWRENCE-Our little princess, Erika Dawn Wood, age 9, passed away suddenly January 31, 2017.
Erika was the loving daughter of Eric and Donna Wood. She was born June 2, 2007 in Salt Lake City and from that day on brought great joy to everyone around her. Erika was blessed with a contagious smile and no one could resist her excitement. Whether boating, camping, bowling, playing video games, watching movies or attending school, Erika was always excited to share her adventures with others. She loved to keep busy and there wasn’t anything that could keep her still.
Some of her fondest memories were shared while attending the Castle Valley Center in Price. Erika loved school and was extremely fond of her teachers, friends and classmates. She enjoyed playing with her friends and cousins, and having sleep overs at grandma and grandpa’s. She loved talking with her Dad every morning while he had his morning coffee. Her smile and sweet spirit were definitely the greatest part of waking up in the morning. Erika we love you and you’ll be sorely missed by all.
