Cynthia A. Erickson, 70, of West Fargo, ND, passed away on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at Bethany Retirement Living in Fargo.
Cindy was born on April 21, 1956, in Lisbon, North Dakota, to Lawrence and Mary (Anderson) Stroh. She grew up in Lisbon and graduated from Lisbon High School in 1974. She continued her education at Valley City State University, where she earned a degree in Education.
In 1982, Cindy married C.C. Erickson, and the couple made their home in West Fargo. Cindy spent over 30 years working at Pioneer Mutual, where she dedicated much of her professional life.
Cindy loved spending time at her lake home on Star Lake, where she could soak up the sunshine and enjoy being by the water. She cherished the wonderful group of friends she had maintained since high school and especially enjoyed traveling, getting together, and taking “girls’ weekends” with them. She also loved reading, shopping, and spending time with her beloved dogs, Panda and Otis.
Above all, Cindy treasured her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She shared an incredibly special bond with her grandson, Brooks, for whom she had the joy of being the “grandma sitter” during the first five years of his life. Those years together created countless memories and a connection that was truly special to them both.
Cindy always took pride in looking her best, especially when it came to having her nails done and looking put together. She had the best smile, an infectious laugh, and a fun-loving personality that made her a joy to be around. She was genuinely kind to everyone she met and had a way of making people feel welcome and comfortable. Whether she was enjoying the sunshine at the lake, laughing with her girlfriends, or spending time with her family, Cindy knew how to enjoy life and make the most of the moments that mattered. Her warmth, laughter, and love for those around her will be deeply missed.
Cindy is survived by her husband, C.C. Erickson; children, Jordan (Jess) Erickson and Taylor (Wade) Thornton; grandchildren, Brooks Thornton and Tucker Thornton; and siblings, Jackie Stroh and Larry Stroh.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence and Mary Stroh.

So very sad to hear of Cindy’s passing. I worked with her and Taylor at NDAS on campus. Always a smile and happy. So sad as she and Kay were always sitting together and now they are both gone way to soon!
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, I am thinking of you all.

When I started dating my wife Diane and we’d go out, we’d often meet up with some of the girls from Cindy’s and Diane’s close knit group from high school and work. I’ll always remember all the distinctive laughs from that group, especially Cindy’s. It just made everyone laugh harder. What a joy she was!
Cindy was truly a beautiful soul, inside and out. I always looked forward to seeing her and hearing little Brooks during those special daily coffee visits to gg’s with his grandma Cindy. Those are memories that will always bring a smile to my face.
Cindy had a way of lighting up a room with her beautiful smile, warmth, and happiness. Her beauty, charisma, and the way she carried herself made her stand out in the most delightful way. She was truly one of a kind.
I often told Cindy what an amazing daughter and grandmother she was. I also had the privilege of seeing the love she had as a mother when her family would come to visit Mary. The love she had for her family was undeniable, and she showed it so beautifully.
I will always remember Cindy’s joyful spirit, her kindness, and that unforgettable smile. She left a lasting impression on my heart and on so many others.
That beautiful, one-of-a-kind smile will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. ❤️
My heartfelt condolences to her family. May you find comfort in knowing how much joy, warmth, and love Cindy brought into the lives of others.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Cindy’s family and friends. She was always so sweet and kind and had the biggest loving heart.
My Deepest Sympathy,
Roberta Dick Townley
