On the evening of January 27,2018, with the presence of her loving family, Erica's name was called to eternal rest. She was a humble and faithful servant. Erica had finished her journey here on earth and went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Erica P. Wilson was the oldest of two children born on June 12, 1966 to Mr. Cleveland and Possie Farmer in New York, New York. She confessed Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in Edwards, Mississippi. She later graduated from Provine High School in Jackson, Mississippi. Erica went on to pursue her education by attending Jackson State University, where she obtained her undergraduate and Master degrees.

In 1991, she was united in holy matrimony to Fredrick Wilson. To this union, twins were born Fredrick Wilson, Jr. and Aurelia Ashunte Wilson. Erica began her career early by working at Hinds Community College, Utica Branch. She was the Administrative Assistant for Dr. Anne Yates, Pediatric Allergy. Also, Erica worked as an Adjunct Instructor at Hinds Community College, Jackson Campus from August 2015 until May 2016.

Erica will be dearly missed and always remembered by all of us who loved her. May the fond memories we cherish bring us comfort and substain us during our time of sadness (Hosea 13:14).

I am truly missing you already, Erica.
The places we went, the years we worked together at HCCD, walking to the campus post office and union, carpooling together and just acting silly and making our list that we had so much fun laughing at. Our time together, “Time cannot erase not Years destroy”. Rest In Heaven, ERICA and be assured, I am so saddened and your family is not alone during this time of bereavement.

I am beyond saddened to hear this news. The world will be less bright without Erica in it! I am a patients mother of a doctor Erica worked for. From the first time I talked to her and then subsequently met her in 2012 I adored her. I feel as if I spoke to her so often and I will always miss it. That mds team is my family too!! Bless her children beyond measure she spoke often of you and loved you so much!! She always took care of my son and me and facilitated anything I needed with the physician. I have missed hearing her voice when I called the mds office recently and I spoke with Mildred expressing this! I am praying for her entire family at this very difficult time!! Please know how much she meant to me and my family!! We loved her so much!
