Raised in Phoenix, she attended Hopi Elementary and Arcadia High School where she made lifelong friendships that she treasured to the very end.
Holly majored in journalism at Northern Arizona University and pursued that career in Pinetop-Lakeside after college, however, she returned to the Valley to follow her true passion: interior design, at which she excelled.
After a long and courageous battle with a number of health challenges, Holly passed away on January 24, 2025.
She is survived by the love of her life, husband Craig Erickson, brothers Robert (Mary) and Jim (Karen), her stepdaughter Jennifer, and her granddaughter Kenna, as well as two nieces, two nephews, four grandnieces, two grandnephews, and of course, her canine companion, Gracie. She also leaves behind a host of adoring friends including Sandra, Jodi, the "Arcadia Girls", and many friends from St. James Episcopal Church.
Holly's legacy of love and compassion will be remembered and cherished by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
