VAN DEN NIEUWENHOF, Erika

24th November, 1952 – 11th September, 2026

Erika died very peacefully on September 11th, 2026 after a courageous fight against colon cancer.

She leaves behind many many circles of family and friends to mourn their loss.

Erika, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was born in Lörrach, Germany, as the eldest of eight children; where her seven siblings, some with children and grandchildren of their own, all still live.

Erika left instructions that her ashes are to be placed together with those of her beloved husband, Ronald, in an earth friendly container and buried in a peaceful setting. “Back to nature”.

She further directed that there should be no service or ceremony.

May she rest in peace.
