Terry Lynn (Barney) Erickson Obituary (1949 - 2017)

Terry Lynn Barney Erickson, wife, mother, grandmother, and beloved friend passed away Saturday October 14th, 2017 surrounded by her family. Terry was born October 14, 1949 to Derell and Helen Barney in Salina, Utah and was the second of three children. She was raised in Salina and Pleasant Grove, Utah. She graduated from Pleasant Grove High School and Utah Technical College in Provo. She married her loving husband, Marvin Erickson, on March 14, 1969. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the LDS Manti Utah Temple on September 25th, 1980 and were blessed to spend more than 48 years together. Terry spent more than 30 years donating her time and talents to serving the Cub and Boy Scouts of America. She was recognized by receiving many awards, most notably the Silver Beaver Award one of the most prestigious awards presented by the Boy Scouts. It is awarded to volunteers who develop the scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self-sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. Most notably, the Silver Beaver is given to those who do not seek it, which epitomizes Terry and the life that she lived. She enjoyed crafts and collecting various knickknacks (treasures). She enjoyed time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She also enjoyed camping with her family at the Gooseberry Ranger Station near Salina Utah and often commented how she wished she could live there. Words are not adequate to express how deeply she will be missed and how much she means to family and friends. Terry is survived by her husband Marvin; five sons, Mont (Wendy), Shane (Janene), Bret (Jill), Steven (Kristi), Brad (Amber); 14 grandchildren, Katie, Reaghan, Noah, Haden, Joseph, Jacie, Cody, Lainee, Aayla, Carly, Halle, Gavin, J.D., and Bryson; and two siblings, Joan (Wes) Smith and Kent Barney.
