Erica Ann "Red" Young

Erica Ann “Red” Young, 36, of Cambridge City died Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at her residence.

The youngest daughter of Brian Young and Monica Shafer, Erica was born on December 11, 1988, in Connersville. She was employed at H.T. Hackney Co., as a merchandiser. Erica was a biker through and through. She recently got her own Harley that she was very proud of. She loved showing off her bike while riding with her dear friend, Tim. When Erica wasn’t riding, you could find her living the simple life and enjoying her time with her children, friends, and family.
