Erica Jones, age 27, of Nephi, Utah, left this earthly
life to join her Heavenly Father due to a complication

serving in the ward and was currently serving as a Sunday

support, and example to her parents in their callings.
Erica graduated from Juab High School in 1995, and was
Senior Class President. She graduated From UVSC with an
Associate Degree, and was currently seeking a degree at

Erica had many special friends who loved and supported
her continually. She attracted people with her contagious
smile and personality, and was an inspiration and strength
to everyone she met. Her physical limitations became her own
and everyone else's strength. She loved her grandparents,
parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, brother, nieces and
nephews very much and encouraged them in all that they did.
Her favorite thing to do was watch her brother Casey play
basketball and baseball. She was Juab High School's #1
fan.
The family expresses their sincere appreciation and
love to the doctors, nurses and staff of Central Valley
Medical Center, and Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
They also express their appreciation to the East Juab
Ambulance crew.
