Evelyn Erickson of Rush City passed away Monday, September 26, 2022 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis at the age of 85.
Evelyn was born in Hibbing, MN on May 23, 1937, to Swedish immigrant parents, Axel and Jennie Carlson. She attended Cobb Cook Elementary School and Hibbing High School. After graduation, she attended Bemidji State College, where in her freshman year she met John Erickson. They were married on April 11, 1959, a marriage that lasted 48 years, until John’s passing in 2007. They had one son, Kurt Jeffrey, who passed in 2017.
Evelyn spent 34 years as an elementary school teacher; her last 23 years as a first-grade teacher in Rush City. Her love of teaching was shared with the many fun stories of her little students and her time spent with fellow faculty members.
The special times in her life were those she spent with family and friends. She particularly loved the family cabin on Perch Lake near Hibbing; their trips to Canada fishing at Redden’s Resort on Lake of the Woods and camping with four other couples and all their kids. Their time in Arizona was very different and wonderful although home was ‘always the best’.
She is survived by nephew Coby (Lynn) Dale; special friends Mick and Joanne Louzek, Greg and Kathy McDonald, Yvonne Lind, Pat Knutson and Maureen Sybrant.
She is preceded in death by parents Axel and Jennie Carlson; husband John; son Kurt; sisters Margaret and Janet.
