Erika Noel Fischer

Southlake, Texas – Erika Noel Fischer, beloved friend, passed away on February 9, 2024. She was born December 17, 1963, in Springfield, Ohio, the daughter of Ernst and Marilyn Fischer. Erika followed in her parents’ footsteps, learning like her dad, all she could in the sciences, and playing the piano and clarinet. Erika loved her dogs and horses, learning to ride at an early age. She graduated from Greenon High School in 1982 and continued weaving her interests with new knowledge graduating cum laude with a degree in biology from Wittenberg University and a master’s degree in animal science from the University of Cincinnati. Erika enjoyed a successful career in pharmaceutical sales specializing in treatment therapies for the eyes and building strong relationships with colleagues and the doctors and nurses she called on. She lived a full life with her friends and many interests including her beloved Corgis, music, history, and reading. Her affection for Joe, her horse, coupled with her desire to make life better for all living beings inspired her to pursue certification in animal massage. She launched her business Eye on Equine Bodywork to provide therapy to horses across North Texas. Erika’s desire to help also led her to tutor high school students in AP biology and volunteer at Angels Attic of White Chapel Methodist Church where she made many friends. Erika was predeceased by her parents, Ernst and Marilyn (Wright) Fischer and grandmother, Edith Wright. Erika is survived by her cousin, Kenneth Richard Wright of Columbus, and many special friends. In honoring Erika’s memory, we cherish her natural, sweet essence and ability to connect with people in a way that valued them with kindness, acceptance, and friendship, most of all. Erika’s family and friends are grateful for the guidance and caregiving from Faith Presbyterian Hospice especially Rhonda Taylor-Blair and the support provided by Home Instead of North Richland Hills, TX. Adkins Funeral Home in Enon will be assisting Erika’s family with her final wishes. A graveside service and burial will be held on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Enon Cemetery, Enon, Ohio. A Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date in Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to MD Anderson Cancer Center, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and Enon Emergency Relief.
