Anna P. Erickson

Anna Powell Erickson, of Hot Springs, passed away June 23, 2017.

She was predeceased by her loving husband of 67 years, Eric.

At 94 years old, she was sharp, witty and active until the end. She was an avid game player, played a mean hand of bridge and did the daily crossword puzzle. The word used to describe her most was “sweet,” and she had many good friends. She will be missed greatly but most especially by her children.

Anna is survived by her children and their spouses, Linda E. and Ray Adams, Joanne Erickson, Chuck and Paula Erickson and Judy E. and Gary Dare, as well as a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

“When I come to the end of the day

And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love we once shared.

Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone It’s all part of the Maker’s plan A step on the road to home When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to friends we know And bury your sorrows in going good deeds—Miss me but let me go.”
