Dorothy E. Erickson

April 10, 1930 - January 14, 2014 Dorothy Erickson, 83, embarked on her journey into eternal life in absolute peace to join the loved ones who preceded her, most importantly, her beloved husband Everett "Roger" Erickson who will certainly greet her with open arms.

Dorothy and Everett were united in marriage on June 20, 1953.

She is also survived by her sister Shirley Kutchenriter, brother Bill Johnson, brother Louis Johnson and wife Barbara, in-laws Esther Johnson, Vivian & Bob Waters, Carol & Bob Lashua and many loving nieces, nephews. The family would like to thank her special friend and aide of the last five years, Sheila Webster for her loving care as well as her New York City friends.
