Erica Antonette King, 41 of Morgantown, WV was carried up on the wings of angels on Sunday, July 26, 2020 surrounded by her loving family at Ruby Memorial Hospital.  Erica was born in Fairmont, WV on July 13, 1979, the daughter of Eddie King Jr. and Bonnie J. King.

Erica was a fun-loving daughter, amazing aunt, kind cousin, and everybody's best friend.  She was employed as a phlebotomist and trainer at Lab Corp, Inc. for 18 years and was a faithful employee. She was always ready to lend a hand, a listening ear, and put her best foot forward to help anyone.  She was a sweet, vibrant, person with an infectious laugh, and never met a stranger.  Once you met her, you would never forget her, for to know her was to love her.

Erica was a 1997 graduate of North Marion High School, attended Monongah Middle School, and Monongah Elementary School. While at Monongah Middle, Erica received an award for attending school for 607 days with Perfect attendance. Erica also attended OIC and received her phlebotomy certification.

Her Father was always supporting, nurturing, and guiding her and became a role model for her work ethic.  She in turn was a role model for many of her co-workers because of her pleasant attitude, drive, and her contagious smile.   Erica attended the Morning Star Baptist Church with her parents and was baptized at an early age.  Family and Friendships meant everything to her.  Blood makes us family and so does love.
