They were married in 1957 and raised 5 children. Family was very important to her and she enjoyed a wonderful, prosperous life with her husband who absolutely adored her. Erika loved to dance, swim, she loved to be in the water, she loved making puzzles and adding to her many collections, especially Hummel’s, Beanie Babies, dolls, angels and dolphins. She loved listening to German music and polkas. She loved her dog, Molly. She loved decorating the house for all holidays, especially Christmas.
