April 9, 1943 - October 25, 2024
It is with deep sadness that we announce our beloved wife/mother/grandma/great-grandma Erica Williams (nee Wiedemann) has passed away after a short but courageous battle with cancer.
Erica was born and grew up in Aklavik before later moving to Inuvik. In her twenties, she travelled south, spending time in BC before settling in Fort Smith in the early 70's to work for the GNWT. It was there that she met the love of her life and husband of 50+ years. In 1976 they moved and made Yellowknife her forever home.
Erica was loved dearly and will continue to be in our memory.
Erica is survived by her husband Gary, son Buddy (Sandi), granddaughter Ashley (Mike), great grandsons Ryker, Kade, Bryer, brothers John (Sarah), Paul (Maryanne), and son Mark. Erica was predeceased by her parents Maggie and Bruno, sisters Hertha and Greta, and granddaughter Kourtney.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Medicine Unit at Stanton Territorial Hospital for the exceptional care and compassion they provided during her stay and battle with cancer.
In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Canadian Cancer Society are greatly appreciated.
