Loving mother of Edlynn (Rickey), Justine (Nicholas), and Jo (Xiang, partner). Proud Lola of Zachary. Dear sister to 9 siblings. Erlinda will be sadly missed and held dear in the hearts of her extended family and friends. She will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten.

I worked with Erlinda at Notre Dame. She was always full of energy and good cheer, and was always willing to chat – sometimes about work, sometimes about family – she loved her family. I will miss her. We shared many laughs; that’s how I’ll remember her. My sincerest condolences on your loss.
