Nancy Marie Erickson
July 1, 1937 — February 27, 2021
Nancy Marie (Frank) Erickson passed away Saturday, February 27, from complications of Alzheimer's.
Nancy was born on July 1, 1937, to Adolph and Evelyn (Pearson) Frank in McVille, North Dakota. After graduating from McVille High School in 1955, she attended UND for two years and was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. When her parents moved to Fargo in 1957, she transferred and completed her college education at the ND Agricultural College (NDSU), graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics in 1960. During those years, she began dating Armond Erickson, who was also a McVille native.
They were married June 26, 1960. They settled in their home on south 7th Street in Fargo in 1964, where they raised their three children: Allan, Julie, and Jennifer.
Nancy's degree in Home Economics prepared her for a lifetime career of family nurturing. A chef, baker, sewer, crocheter, knitter, canner, piano player, driver, and volunteer are a few of the many hats she wore. In addition to a caring and loving mother and wife, she was an active member in the community, Sunday school teacher, Cub Scout leader, member of First Lutheran Church of Fargo, Abigail Circle, PEO, and The Norwegian Legion.
She enjoyed summers at Pelican Lake and winters in Arizona. They traveled with family to Europe, with golf friends to Scotland, and with church groups to Egypt and Israel. Her last travel adventure was to her grandson's wedding in Ann Arbor.
Armond passed away in 2012. Nancy continued to live in their house until 2016, when she moved to Grace Pointe and in 2018 to Bethany on University.
She will be missed by her son Allan (Jenny) Erickson, daughters Julie (Perry Rust) Erickson, and Jennifer (Brad) Dahl, all of Fargo. Grandchildren Thomas (Stephanie) Erickson and Kelly Erickson all of Chicago, IL. Additional survivors include brother Vincent (Carol) Frank, sisters Judy Frank, Teri (Dennis) Dreiling.
She was preceded in death by husband Armond, parents Adolph and Evelyn, sister Mary Inden, father-in-law, and mother-in-law Ed and Cora Erickson.
A private family graveside service will be held. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to First Lutheran Church of Fargo, Bethany Retirement Living, Ethos Hospice of Fargo, or a charity of your choice.
