Sandra Erickson

May 22nd 1939-December, 10th 2025

Sandra was born in Logan, Utah to Joseph Hyrum Vereen & Lucy Niederhauser. She is sealed to her step-father James William Ellis & Lucy Ellis.

She attended Utah State College with an Art Education major. These classes developed a life-long love of art. She served an LDS mission to the Southern States Mission 1961-62. Immediately after her mission she and 2 friends spent the summer touring Europe, Egypt, and the Middle East. She married Wayne Erickson on 7th June 1963 in the Logan Temple. She and Wayne spent their honeymoon summer in a Fire Lookout in Cle Elum WA. Wayne's career took them to Monticello UT, Mesa AZ, St. George UT, Cheyenne WY, and American Fork where they gleaned 7 children, David (Elizabeth Dykstra), Bryce (Gloria Maez), Martin (Patti Grace), Todd (Laurie Schlensker), Sue Ann (Alan Rutherford), Laura Lee (Tom Pretto), and William (Felicia Draper), and 11 Grandchildren (in order of age): Rianneke, Gunnar, Caden, Rylee, Abigail, Tyler, Alleah, Serena, Lucy, Siena, and Ellie. She is survived by her sister Sonya McBride and brothers Bill Page and Clair Ellis.

Sandra cherished all of her family. Sandra loved all things beautiful, Temple worship, the scriptures, flower gardens, design, travel, art museums, uplifting classic movies, plays, family activities and events, and setting a lovely table cooking colorful yummy food. Sandra will be buried next to her husband Wayne in the Highland City Cemetery.

Sandra our mom, sister, grandma, aunt, neighbor, and friend lived a wonderful life of adventure, artistic creativity, family connection, compassionate service, and devotion to her faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the good in the world. We all loved her dearly. Her enthusiasm, smiles, fun times, support, and love are and will be greatly missed.

We welcome all to come celebrate her life!
