JoAnn Marie Erickson Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to JoAnn Marie Erickson (Southern Pines, North Carolina), whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. JoAnn left this world on January 19, 2026 at the age of 86, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As JoAnn departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though JoAnn may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy JoAnn leaves behind.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Samuel Vangsness and Josephine Vangsness (Lynnes); and her brother Curtis (Elaine) of Fargo, ND. She is survived by: her husband Dale O. Erickson; her children, Paul of Southern Pines, NC and Linda Evans (James); her grandchildren, Brady, Camden and Kaitlyn of Phoenix, AZ.; and her brother Senster (Janet) of Kindred, ND. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, JoAnn asks that any memorial gifts be directed to the Emmanuel Episcopal Church.
