Dorothy Erickson (April 8, 1920 – July 2, 2011)

Dorothy led three generations of her family to Camp Gilead and was a regular family camper and retreat goer over the years. She was a strong and steadfast family matriarch who wanted her children and grandchildren to know God’s love, experience His creation and love each other. Shepherding her flock to family camp at Gilead year after year, she paved the way for those experiences to blossom in her family’s lives. Dorothy was 91 years young when she was called Home to her final resting place. Her contagiously joyful laugh, unshakeable spirit and humble faith remain with us always.
