Lisa Erickson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 13, 2017.
Lisa Mae (Hoyer) Erickson, age 56, passed from this life on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017. She was guided along the rainbow bridge by her furry companions, greeted at heaven's door by her dad and was welcomed to the loving arms of her Savior. A joyful reunion is taking place at the rainbow bridge with Sebastian, Brutus, Caleb, Toby, Tatiana, Tinkerbell. Tails are wagging and puppy kisses are flowing. Your mama is home.

Lisa was born April 24, 1960, to John F. and Alberta (Reed) Hoyer in Rochester. She graduated from Mayo High School in 1978. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Todd Erickson, on April 19, 1986, and they were blessed with two wonderful sons. Lisa was a strong advocate of the elderly, children and animals. She worked as a caregiver of elderly and also as a teacher at Primrose School.

Lisa was preceded in death by her father, John F. Hoyer, maternal and paternal grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Lisa is survived by her husband and sons, Jacob (Samantha) and Shane. She is also survived by her mother, Alberta Hoyer; sisters, Linda Guimond (Daryl) and Leanne Tilford (Michael); nephew, Jason Guimond; and nieces, Jessica Machuga (Kyle) and Nicole Tilford; mother-in-law, Alice Erickson; other family members and dear friends.

Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, at Macken Funeral Home Riverside Chapel, with funeral service at 1 p.m. Interment will be at Grandview Memorial Gardens following the service.

Memorials preferred to the family.

Life is shorter than any of us realize and you don't know what you have until it's gone. Be kind to one another, say I love you and give lots of hugs. Heaven has gained a very joyful soul and she will be deeply missed.

Todd, Jake and Shane: I am so very sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. My prayers and sympathy to you all. She was such a special gal. I wish I could have seen you two last summer, but you were gone every time I stopped. I will never forget our special times together. May God provide you with comfort at this sad time. Thinking of you every day,
