Erika Lynn MetcalfMarch 11, 1972 - April 24, 2008HALSEY-Erika went to sleep last Wednesday night and went to be in Heaven with Jesus. She was in the process of planning a missionary trip to Uganda Africa in June. Erika was a people person and loved helping others. She had been the city clerk in Halsey, Ore. for several years until persistent headaches made her time off work more frequent, and she quit to work in missions.Erika is survived by her loving husband of 15 years, Dwayne; two sons, Jon and Josh; and a daughter, Rebekah (Bek). She has one brother who lives in Utah and her mom and dad, Randall and Diane Shipman of Independence. She has one living grandmother and 40 aunts and uncles. She was so close to most of the aunts and uncles, they felt like siblings. With that many aunts and uncles there are too many cousins to begin counting. Erika was very comfortable being in such a large family.Funeral service was held Monday, April 28 at the Salem Vineyard Church. Burial is in Belcrest Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to a trust for her children.
