Erika "Ricki" V. McGuire's Obituary
Erika “Ricki” McGuire, age 80 of Milton Delaware, passed away on Saturday, June 12, 2021. She was born in Jersey City, NJ on September 10, 1940, daughter of the late Eric and Mary (Cipriano) Wendt.
Ricki lived her life to the fullest, sharing her fun and generous personality with everyone. She had a wonderful marriage to her best friend and love of her life, Bob. They loved being together whether traveling, square dancing, going to concerts, or just relaxing in their recliners watching Wheel of Fortune. Ricki also enjoyed line dancing, gardening, and going to plays with her friends. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and handing down her many creative talents. She always saw the good in everyone and everything. She will be greatly missed.
Ricki was preceded in death by her sisters: Bertha Hofmann and Marie Gugliemo. She is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Robert McGuire of Milton, DE; her children: Bob McGuire, Jr. of Georgetown, DE, Kathleen Young (Frank) of Beachwood, NJ, and Michael McGuire (Stacey) of Point Pleasant, NJ; and her grandchildren: Jake Young (Sarah Freda) of Philadelphia, PA, Grace Young of Beachwood, NJ, and Logan McGuire and Connor McGuire, both of Point Pleasant, NJ.
