Erica Leigh Cordrey

It is with a heavy heart that we announce, heaven gained a beautiful soul. Erica Cordrey, 49, of Cape Coral, Florida, passed away March 3^rd, 2025.

A New Year's baby, Erica was born in White Plains, New York, January 1^st, 1976 to Richard (deceased) and Clare Abramson(Stano). After growing up and forging lifelong friendships, her life ultimately started when traveling to Florida with her mother. Growing roots in Lee County, her journey began guiding her through the hospitality business where she built amazing friendships  and relationships that would carve her path. Erica’s light shined brightest after developing her Christian faith and strength in accepting her Lord and Savior into her heart. Leaving the hospitality profession behind, Erica took a leap of faith pursuing a longing interest in the funeral industry where her loving nature, her spirit and unwavering compassion for others flourished in serving the members of her community in their hardest days.

Anchored by her faith, Erica loved simplicity. She loved her church, her music, her fur babies, Sweet Pea and Walter, her friends, her dragonflies, but most of all her family. She loved her husband of 14 years, together for 20, her amazing daughter, her son, and absolutely adored every second spent with her granddaughter. Her smile would illuminate a darkened sky when hearing that excited young voice yell “Grammaaaa" and the joyous embrace that followed.

Erica is survived by her loving husband Christopher Cordrey; two children Alexa Cordrey and Nathan Champlain; a granddaughter Raelynn Champlain; mother Clare Stano; brother David Abramson and wife Andrea; and many extended family and friends.

A Celebration of Erica's life will be held on Saturday, March 22, 2025 at Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 3654 Palm Beach Blvd, Fort Myers, Florida 33916.  The family will receive friends from 4:00 pm until 5:00 pm with a Memorial Service to follow at 5:00 pm.  A reception will follow the service at the Mullins Memorial Celebration Center, immediately behind the funeral home.

Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Cape Coral, is entrusted with her final care.
