Erika Ridlehoover-Birosak, daughter of the late Barbara Driskell Ridlehoover was born in Tallahassee, Florida July 26, 1969 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Erika passed away December 16, 2013 at Lakeland Regional Medical Center, Lakeland, Florida.
Erika attended local elementary schools in Tallahassee and graduated from Leon High School. She attended Community Colleges in Tallahassee and Orlando.
Erika loved her husband, boxer puppies and all other animals. She is leaving behind her beloved boxer "Ruby". This love of animals led to her being a competitive horse woman and an excellent rider during her high school and community college days.
Erika dedicated her sixteen year professional career to the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) industry and developed strategic partnerships and friendships at every stop of her professional journey. Erika began her career with PB Farradyne, where she provided support to FDOT's Central Office ITS contract.
Many of Erika's friends first met her at the ITS Working Group meetings that she coordinated all over Florida, a fitting assignment for a social butterfly like Erika. She joined TransCore in 2002, where she utilized her excellent communication skills and commitment to excellence over the next eleven years.
She provided a variety of services while with TransCore, including providing in-house services to Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, FDOT District Seven, and FDOT Central Office. Erika's dedication to the ITS Industry and her ability to touch people will leave a lasting impression.
Erika was a leader, advocate, and friend of ITS Florida for many years.
She served on the Board of Directors from 2003 to 2006, and again from 2010 to the present. She served as Secretary, Treasurer, and was recently elected Vice President. Erika served as Chair of the organization's Outreach Committee and was responsible for providing an article to the FDOT's monthly ITS publication, for ITS Florida's website, and for managing the annual awards and scholarships programs.
But nothing was more important to Erika than the annual ITS Florida calendar. Through much hard work and persuasion each year, Erika procured the necessary photographs and sponsors to produce a calendar that was a large part of why ITS Florida is named an Outstanding Chapter by ITS America each year.
Recently, Erika was a member of the team that is planning the 2014 ITS 3C Summit, and a huge advocate for the partnership of the chapters and the success of the event.
Erika's dedication and commitment to this volunteer organization was matched by few.
Visitation will be held 12:00-2:00 PM, Thursday, December 19, 2013 at Culley's MeadowWood Funeral Home, Timberlane Chapel. Funeral services will be 2:00 PM with interment to follow at MeadowWood Memorial Park.
Memorial Contributions may be made to Metropolitan Ministries, 2301 North Tampa Street, Tampa, FL 33602 or to Florida Boxer Rescue, Inc., 2039 East Crooked Lake Drive, Eustis, FL, 32726.
