Marlene Erickson was a wonderful big sister and an extremely caring daughter and friend.  She was a skilled nurse-anesthetist and volunteered her talents in the military, serving in Thailand during the Vietnam War.  There she witnessed tremendous suffering. She was an accomplished musician, private pilot, champion skier and outdoor person who loved animals and little kids. She was an inspiration to so many, in so many ways.

Now, some of her will live on helping others.
