Erica Roberts' Obituary
Erica L. Roberts, 43, of Milford, died Friday, Dec. 27, 2024, after a brief illness at Albert Einstein Medical Center. Born Oct. 20, 1981, in Chestertown, MD, she is survived by her sons Oran and Aidan Crossan, her parents Jeffery Roberts and Bonnie, Cindy Forestieri and John and Grandmother Judy Jackson. Two bonus sisters Shannon and Alicia. She was preceded in death by an Uncle Allen Bowlin, Aunt Margie Gately, Great Grandfather Cliff Kershaw, Grandparents Gerald Roberts, Nancy Reynolds, Donald and Mary Bowlin. She was also loved by many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends.
Erica was a safety inspector at Perdue in Milford, DE and was very proud of this position and the responsibility of keeping her coworkers safe.
Erica spent her first 6 years in Rock Hall, MD where she learned how fish and crab in her favorite little Watertown. She spent her next 12 years in the Cape Henlopen School district where she graduated from CHHS and later from basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina. Erica was a survivor. She blazed many trails in her short life. Her battles were steep and furious. She loved deeply with her entire heart. She was a beautiful mother to Oran and Aidan. She loved them and was very proud to be their mother. She loved every furry creature she laid eyes upon. Her Australian Shepherd “Chewy” will miss her immensely. We will be lost without her forever.
Many thanks to Dr. Kahl and the transplant team, Sarah, 5th floor Levy nurses, ICU, the Veronicas at the Tower registration desk, security and the palliative care team.
