Erika Grude

Erika Grude (Omi)

May 4th 1947 – September 21st 2023

Erika (Omi/Mom) passed peacefully on September 21st with her daughter by her side. She is survived by her children David, Sylvia, grandchild Jiya, friends, and extended family, including her best friend and sister Monika. Erika grew up in Germany, but lived her adult years in Canada, a place she was proud to call home. From Regina to Victoria, her life left behind a beautiful trail of love, laughter, and change as she held the same caring attitude towards all walks of life. She lived her values daily and delighted in the simple things. Most importantly, Erika was playful--a gift she brought to so many, and one that carries on.

Goodbye Omi/Mom.

“See you everywhere.”
