Our wonderful wife, mother and grandmother returned to her loving Heavenly Father, March 18, 2022 after a very short but intense battle with cancer. She passed peacefully with her husband and family by her side.

On July 11, 1966 after many years of trying to complete their family, Cheri was born to Darlene and Fred Griffiths. Cheri loved her parents entirely and had a very special place in her heart for her three siblings. She grew up in Kearns, UT and attended Kearns High School. She was a worthy and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints her entire life and shared her testimony of the gospel every chance she got. She held many church callings but her favorite by far was, primary chorister.

“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.”

Cheri had many favorite things but you couldn’t look at a ladybug, owl, bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper or a skein of yarn without thinking of her. She loved anything crafty especially knitting, crocheting and paint by diamonds. She had so much talent and loved to share it with anyone she could. Cuddling up with 12 pillows and a good book was her idea of a nearly perfect day. She always loved the holidays and spending hours decorating while listening to music with her family.

Cheri met her husband, David Erickson in January of 1991 and they were married May 10, 1991, in the Salt Lake Temple. They had their first child in April 1992, and adored being a mother so much she went on to have four more. Cheri’s kids were her "most valued treasures". She would have done anything in the world to protect and prove her love for them. She was blessed with a new kind of love after each addition of her 6 beautiful grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father Shirley Darlene and Thomas Fredrick Griffiths and her brother Darlynn Griffiths (Glena) and sister Patricia Davies (Jeff).

She is survived by her husband David Erickson, her 5 children, Jordan Erickson (Codee), Chealsy Barton (Christopher), Kierstin Wilkey (Jacob), Joshua Erickson, TonyaMarie Erickson and her 6 grandchildren Gavin (16), Degan (13), Chloe (9), Tederic (6), Teya (6) and Kaidence (18 months), step-mother Joan Griffiths, sister Debbie Denovellis (Scott) and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
