Erika Valdez, age 53, of Alsip, Illinois, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Saturday, November 1, 2025. Born on September 18, 1972, Erika was a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend whose kindness and strength touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Erika’s greatest joy came from her family—especially the moments spent with her daughter and grandsons, who were the light of her life.
She is survived by her beloved daughter, Sara, and son-in-law, Eduardo; her cherished grandsons, Greyson and Mateo; her loving brother, Luciano (Lisa); and her dear nieces, Cianna and Madison and nephews, Noah and Aiden. She was preceded in death by her devoted parents, Diane and Luciano Sr., whose memories she carried close to her heart.
