Erica O'Donnell Obituary
Erica was born on Feb. 5, 1982 in Bath Maine. She grew up in Farmingdale, where she excelled in academics, field hockey, and track. She still holds the 800 meters record to this day. She went on to study at the University of New Hampshire where she received her undergraduate degree in nursing. She then received her MBA in Health Care Administration from Walden University, and worked at York Hospital for the last eight years.
In addition to being with her family, Erica loved running, gardening, cooking, and being outside with her dogs. She spent many hours on the trails and beaches of Southern Maine with them. In everything she did, our beautiful Erica was an incredible caretaker and teacher. Everyone's life she touched, from family to friends to patients to strangers, is better for it.

Dear Debbie and Mike, I was saddened to read about Erica's passing. I remember her as a student and athlete at Hall-Dale HS and enjoyed getting to know her as a student. She had many friends and made a significant impact on the school. I hope you find some peace and comfort from your friends and family in the coming weeks and months. She will be missed.
