Erica Renee Kitchenmaster, age 30, of Hinckley, Minnesota was called home to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 24, 2023.

Erica was born in Mora, Minnesota and raised on the family farm in Hinckley.  She would often be found barefoot and covered in horsehair and cow manure, a true country girl to her core. Erica graduated from Hinckley-Finlayson High School in May, 2011. She worked various jobs including Grand Northern Inn, Ryders Saloon, Marge's Pub and Grub, and most recently Double W Tree Service. To know Erica was to love her, she could pull you in with a smile and keep you with her laughter. She was a beautiful free spirit. Erica loved horses and was a gifted and talented equestrian, it's said that horses lend the wings we lack and for her that was her freedom and peace. At family gatherings and events you didn't have to look very far for her, you just had to listen for the sound of the children's laughter as she played with her nieces, nephews and friends children, she loved them beyond measure. Erica will live on in the hearts and memories of anyone who was fortunate enough to know her.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Marlin Kruse, Al and Sharlene Kitchenmaster, Cliff and Geraldine Toering.
