It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Erica Sommer (née Martel) of Winnipeg, formerly of Rosenfeld and Altona, on November 4, 2024, after a short battle with cancer.
Erica is survived by daughters, Lisa (Jon), Krista (Chris), and Rachel (Stuart); and grandchildren, Noah, Heath, Piper, and Finn. Erica was predeceased by her husband John; parents, Otto and Leokadia Martel; and brother Heinz Martel.
Born in Poland, Erica immigrated with her family to Rosenfeld, Manitoba in 1948. After graduating high school, she attended teachers’ college and spent most of her much-loved career at Rosenfeld Elementary School.
She enjoyed cooking for her family (especially buns and blintzes), playing cards, gardening, quilting with the Heritage Quilters in Altona and watching the Jays, Jets and Bombers. In retirement, Erica enjoyed time in Arizona and at the cottage at LacLu.
Erica will be forever loved and remembered.
In lieu of flowers, Erica requested you carry out an act of kindness toward others or donate to Grace Hospice in her memory.
