Our dear mother, Erika, known by her friends as Bobby, passed away peacefully February 28, 2024.  She was preceded in death by her husband of 43 years, Gene.

She is survived by her three children: Barbara Transki (Vic), Lillian Lantz (Rick), Eric Ottinger (Jennifer) and five grandchildren: Danielle, Michelle, Miles, Grace, and Sullivan.

Many of the healthcare workers who cared for her described her as "Feisty."  That perfectly captures her spirit.  She was always up for an adventure, loved to play cards, and routinely bested her daughter in the game of backgammon.

She will be missed by all who knew her.
