"Vam" Verna Mae Erickson died at the Bethel Lutheran Home in Williston, ND on Thursday, December 9, 2021.

She was born February 16, 1930 in Sioux City, IA to Oscar and Helen Albeck. She graduated from Central High School in 1948.

Vam was united in marriage with Kenneth Erickson on October 21, 1950. They resided in Sioux City where their two children Connie and Doug were born. As Ken’s employment with a Finance Company kept them moving they lived in Laramie, WY, Council Bluffs, IA and Des Moines, IA before a transfer to Williston, ND in May of 1959 where they have since resided.

They spent many happy years at their lake home at Paradise Point. She enjoyed knitting, Hardunger, Bridge and Golf (even getting a hole in one!).
