Sharon Ann Erickson

Sharon (Shari) Ann Erickson, 82 passed away Sunday, November 9, 2025, in Murray, Utah, surrounded by her family and friends.

Shari was born on May 26, 1943 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the daughter of Frank Herman and Elayne Peterson Gold.

She married Donald (Don) Erickson, in Tacoma, WA. They made Kemmerer their home in 1975. They were both employed by the coal mine until their retirement at which time they moved to Reno, NV. Shari was a caregiver to Don for many years through his battle with Parkinson’s.

After Don’s passing, Shari moved back to Kemmerer for a few years and eventually went back to Reno. She then moved to South Jordan, UT. to be closer to family. In October of 2025, she made the decision to move back to Kemmerer and enjoy the small town she loved and reconnect with her long time friends.

Shari had a talent for creating small thoughtful crafts. For the last several years, she found a lot of happiness in creating handmade gift cards, each filled with care and creativity.

She is survived by her children, Shari (Terry) Wagoner of Chico, CA;, Jim Erickson of Riverton, UT;, and Stacy (Marlin) Batista of Kemmerer, WY. She is also survived by seven grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her husband of almost 40 years.

Shari will be missed more than words can express, but she will always be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor, kindness and joy she brought to those around her. Her gentle nature, smile, and kind heart made her loved by all who knew her.

A celebration of life for Shari will be held at a later date. Cremation has taken place under the care of Ball Family Chapel, Kemmerer, WY.
