Erica J. Larkin of Lockport passed away on July 9, 2026 at Lockport Memorial Hospital.  Born on February 16, 1972, she was the daughter of the late Rose (nee Ventura) Willie.  Erica earned her Associate’s degree at SUNY Niagara and worked as the Operations Manager at Willowbrook Golf Course and later as an Administrative Assistant at C2 Paint. She enjoyed growing tomatoes with her grandson Gabe, being surrounded by her family and friends, enjoying a glass of wine, and snuggling with her dogs while watching the Food Network. 

Erica was well known for her fiery personality, her beautiful smile, and a laugh that could be heard anywhere in the room.  She lived by her own set of rules and was fiercely loyal and protective of her family and friends.  Erica is a one-of-a-kind soul who was called away before we were ready.

Erica is survived by her husband, James Larkin; children Jordan (Brandon) Alfonso and Ben (Jordin) Delahunt; grandsons Gabriel Alfonso and soon to be Graham Alfonso; sister Nicola (Keith) Loewer; nieces Paige (Steve) LaTona and Sydney (Mario) Fortino; aunt Angela (Chris) Rego; uncle Ben (Carol) Ventura; also many dear friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to visitation Thursday, July 16th from 4-7 PM at Prudden And Kandt Funeral Home, 242 Genesee St., Lockport.
