Erica Valerie Larson passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 11, 2011. She was a free spirit who just wanted the simple things in life. She was patient, easy-going and forgiving. Her love for children led her to a career in child daycare. She had many amusing anecdotes about the toddlers in her care. But, her greatest joy in life was her daughter Lily. A child could not have been loved more. Erica was independent and sometimes stubborn though always there when you needed her. And we will always remember her quick wit and knack for teasing, from “stinky trolls” to “worship jams.” She will be missed dearly. She is survived by her daughter, Lily Anna; parents, Dennis and Jane Larson; brother, Joe Larson (wife, Keisha); sisters, Mary Jane Bunnell (husband, Troy), Melanie Brouillette (husband, Marty); nephews and nieces, Seth Crook, Westley Larson, Jessica Larson, Aubrey Brouillette, Elyse Brouillette, and Carter Brouillette. Visitation, Wed. 6-8 pm at Braman Mortuary. Funeral Service, Thurs. 2:00 pm at Braman Mortuary (72 St. Chapel). Private Inurnment. Memorial contributions may be made to Lily Larson at any US Bank. Braman Mortuary – 72 St. Chapel 1702 N. 72 St. Omaha, NE 68114 402-391-2171
