Not long after graduating Bingham HIgh School she married John H. Erickson on July 7, 1966. They resided in Leadmine, UT where they raised their two daughters Jennette and Terri Erickson. Joann’s greatest joy was supporting and attending all her daughters' sports activities. She loved coaching, taking pictures, and cheering from the stands. Joann was so proud of all their accomplishments.
Joann retired from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center where she worked as a pharmacy technician. She enjoyed the many interactions with all the veterans and spent many hours volunteering for the disabled veterans.
Joann spent her retirement years traveling, fishing, and camping. She finally decided to reside in Overton, NV where she shared the past several years with her dear friend Richard Storick.
Joann is survived by her daughters Jennette Erickson, Terri Erickson, 5 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren. Joann was preceded in death by her parents Paul and Vivian Cross, husband John H. Erickson, brothers Bob, Dee, Ron, Don, Jack, and sisters Betty and Alice.
The family would like to thank Nathan Adelson Hospice for their care and comfort during Joann’s final days. As Joann wished, she has been cremated and a tree of life will be planted in her honor in the Uintah Mountains of Utah. At her request, there will be no services. Rest easy Mama we will cherish all the wonderful memories.
