Ericka RyAnn Alexander

LINCOLN — Ericka RyAnn Alexander, 23, of Lincoln, MO became our guardian angel on July 17, 2014. She was born on November 14, 1990, in Excelsior Springs, MO, a daughter of Connie (Ogalsbee) and Larry Estes, of RR2, Lincoln, MO.

She liked jet skiing, boating, swimming, playing pool and music. She loved spending time with her family and most of all her baby girl, Ariel, who is 1 year old. Ericka worked at Lake Custom Docks before going to work at Buck Naked Restaurant, Bar & Marina. She was a very loving, caring and compassionate person to anyone and everyone from all walks of life. She was a member of Edmonson Baptist Church, Lincoln. Her favorite saying was "We can do anything the power of three."

Besides her parents, she is survived by her daughter Ariel Alexander; three sisters, Charity (Fowler) and Brad Cole, of Sedalia; Crystal (Alexander) and Dale Holland, of Cole Camp; and Jamie Alexander, of Kansas City; four nieces, Ana and Ali, of Sedalia; Nevaeh and Alysan, of Cole Camp; two nephews, Brayden, of Cole Camp, and Ethan, of Kansas City; maternal grandparent, Cloetta Ogalsbee, of Otterville; paternal grandparents, Bob and Goldie Estes, of Lincoln, and also aunts, uncles and cousins.

She went to heaven to join her maternal grandparent, Delmer Ogalsbee, and two nephews, Aiden and Bill Joe.

A memorial service will be held Sunday, August 17, 2014, at Edmonson Baptist Church, Lincoln. The family will receive friends at the church from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. prior to the service. Memorial contributions are suggested to The Ariel Alexander Savings Account Fund at Third National Bank, Sedalia, MO or anything else to Edmonson Baptist Church, Lincoln, MO.
