Obituary for Erica Heilmann
Heilmann, Erica Anne nee Altman age 43
Adored and beautiful bride of Dave, who loved her more than life itself. The best mom ever to Natalie, Joey, Mikey and Brooke. Every day Erica told her wonderful children how much she loved them, and they loved her back soooo much.
Erica is survived by her mom and dad, Leona Altman and Glen Altman, wonderful brother Gary (Shawn), and mother-in-law Therese Heilmann. Loving sister in law of Cathy and Bob Lachky, John Heilmann, Diane and Kurt Adams, Chris and Sue Gleason. Precious niece of Anita (Bob) Williams and Diane Stark. Loving aunt, cousin, and Godmother to many. Finally, she is survived by casts of thousands, the people she has touched in the world of theatre, who will never be able to replace this friend.
Erica taught at TF South High School for 20 years and loved her friends there. She also was a cheerleading coach for TF South and St Linus. She changed countless lives through theatre, teaching children, teens and adults, instilling in them the beauty of theatre and all it adds to a life. She helped Oak Lawn win the National City Livability Award in 2009. In 2017 she received recognition by The Tony Awards as one of the top 20 theatre teachers in the country who have demonstrating a monumental impact on the lives of students while embodying the highest standards of the profession.
