Lois Jean Fleck was born on September 16th, 1934, in Flasher ND, the daughter of William and Uma Erickson. She graduated from Flasher High School 1951 and worked at the Grant County Courthouse.

They started their life together in Flasher ND and throughout the years shared many communities along the way including Carson ND, Scranton ND, Hettinger ND, Two Harbors MN, Graceville MN, Breckenridge MN, Jamestown ND and Fargo ND.

Lois’s journey raising her family started with her marriage to Joe in Flasher ND where they had their first four children Terry, Jim, Joe and Jeff. They moved to Hettinger ND where daughter Tammy was born. From Hettinger they moved to Two Harbors MN and then moved to Graceville MN to pursue the dream of owning their own grocery store J&L Food Market. They then moved to Breckenridge MN where Lois so enjoyed her time as an associate at JC Penny. They moved to Jamestown ND to be closer to family and eventually moved to Fargo ND upon retirement.

Lois’s heart and soul was her family and always wanted the best for them. She never missed an opportunity to see every activity and participate when and however she could. She was a true warrior throughout her life as she fought many challenges with her health but did so with grace and dignity showing all of us how love and faith can prevail through even the darkest times.
