With deep sorrow and abiding love, we announce the passing of our beloved Erica Natasha Roberts, who departed this life on June 6, 2025, at the age of 41. While enduring her loss, we love her, and she will be missed dearly.

Erica enjoyed working and she worked countless hours even while dealing with much pain. Her faith was strong, and she loved the Lord with all her heart. She also was a wonderful mother who adored her children, and it was the love for them that kept her strong.

Erica loved shopping and always looked her best. She loved her mother dearly and enjoyed spending time with her, even while Erica was in the hospital.

Family meant a lot to Erica, especially her mother, her children, and sisters. Her sisters played a big role in Erica's life, so much so that on each other's birthdays, you had to buy 3 of everything so they would have the same thing. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Erica was preceded in death by her husband, Brandon Marcell Roberts; grandparents, Lewis and Earleen Horne, Mary River and Jo Lewis Gwin; father, Patrick Bailey; aunt, Jennifer Horne; and one uncle, Lewis Clay Horne.

Erica leaves to cherish her memories two devoted daughters, Tiyana Janae Roberts and Nashana Alexis Roberts whom she loved with a passion; loving and devoted mother, Myra Bailey; biological father, Maurice Gwin; loving sisters, Jessica Horne, LuLu Law and Javara Foster; loving brother, Patrick Noggin; uncles, George Brown (devoted), Ricky Earl Horne (Elaine), Jerry Pendleton and Kip Bailey; aunts, Lucinda Horne, Bessie Pugh (Larry), Patricia Horne, Alison Gwin, Earldean Law and Rita Bailey; father-in-law, Norman Roberts; sister-in-law, Candice Roberts; devoted friend, Anita Holmes; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends whom she loved dearly.
