Dear Friends and Family,

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Erica Lynn Sears, who left us too soon on January 31, 2024, at the age of 50.

She  leaves behind a legacy of strength, humor, and intelligence that will forever be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Erica was the cherished sister of Nicole Clark, Chrissy Poykko, Amy Bartell, and Angela Coburn, each of whom will miss her dearly. She was also the adored mother of Osborn "Ozzy" Watts who brought immense joy and pride to her life. Erica was predeceased by her loving parents, Tuula and Delburn Bartell, her devoted husband Robert Sears, and her supportive step-father Eugene Shilow.

Erica was known for her unique personality - strong, funny, and unapologetically a smartass. She had a deep love for food, with Whoopi Pie holding a special place in her heart. Erica also enjoyed sipping soda while indulging in her favorite reality TV shows. She was a loyal fan of the Baltimore Ravens, and never missed a chance to cheer for the team on game days.

One of Erica's favorite pastimes was simply hanging with her family.

She had a particular fondness for the color pink, a hue that complimented her vibrant and lively personality.

Erica had a soft spot for music, with Rihanna being her favorite artist. Her love for her pet, her cat named "BABYGIRL", was unparalleled. She spent countless hours giving love and attention to her furry companion, cherishing every moment of their companionship.

Erica Sears graced this world with her presence for 50 years, and although her physical form is no longer with us, her spirit continues to resonate in our hearts.
