Sandra C. "Sandi" Erickson

Sandra ‘Sandi’ Erickson, 76, Grand Forks, ND, passed away Tuesday, August 13, 2019 in Altru Hospital of Grand Forks. Sandra Charlotte Cameron was born October 23, 1942 in Grafton, ND, the daughter of Lauchlin ‘Sonny’ and Evangeline (Vikjord) Cameron. She was raised and educated in Thief River Falls, MN and graduated from high school there in 1960. Sandi married Paul Erickson on January 9, 1965 in Alvarado, MN. She co-owned and operated a beauty salon in Argyle, MN until moving to Grand Forks. They welcomed their only daughter, Kristen, to their life in 1970. Shortly after her birth they moved to their current home in rural Grand Forks where Sandi owned and operated a pet boarding kennel for 17 years.

Sandi loved her home. Throughout the years she took great pride in maintaining her beautiful yard, garden and flowers. She enjoyed nature, birds, and animals, especially her very beloved collie dogs. She loved a good laugh, discussing current events, playing cards, playing on her computer or phone, reading, cooking, canning, summer bon-fire’s, and spending time with neighbors, friends, and family.  She truly appreciated life’s simple pleasures and the beauty of nature.

Survivors include her husband, Paul Erickson; daughter, Kristen (Brent) Vik; grandson, Alec Erickson; sister, Kathryn Shadduck; and brother, David (Rebecca) Cameron, all of Grand Forks.

 Sandi was preceded in death by her parents.
