Erica Worell (nee McKay) age 40 of Wayne died Thursday, October 11, 2012 after a courageous three year battle with breast cancer.

She was born in Belleville and was a lifelong resident of Wayne. Erica graduated from Wayne Hills High School with the Class of 1990. She graduated from Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Erica’s first job was at the Red Barn Farm on Valley Road in Wayne and she has most recently worked for Optimum-Lightpath in Oakland for ten years before her illness forced her to leave last year.

She met Brian R. Worell through her brother Martin with their first date at the Waterfront in Wayne. Brian proposed to her at her family home in Wayne and they eloped to Key West, Florida to marry. They were married on July 22, 1997 by the hotel Concierge, who ran around the hotel gardens cutting flowers for her bouquet. Their marriage was witnessed by two Chinese tourists who signed their wedding license in Chinese.

Erica was a fun loving, outgoing person who was always ready for the next party. She had a magnetic albeit strong willed personality. One of her favorite things to say was: “I just want to have fun today”.

She was the loving wife of fifteen years to Brian R. Worell of Wayne; loved daughter of Olivia McKay-Minutolo and her husband Frank of Wayne, and the late Martin McKay (2007); dear sister of Martin J. McKay and his wife Ann of Wayne; cherished aunt of Aidan and Evan McKay; loving daughter-in-law of Sandy and Nancy Galacio of Wayne.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Guardians of the Ribbon, PO Box 2131, Wayne, NJ 07470 would be appreciated.
