Kristi Erickson
Kristi Sue (Brossart) Er-
ickson, the daughter of
John and Rosemary
(Scheet) Brossart was
born Sept. 11, 1968, in
Rugby. She died at the
age of 47 on Monday,
Dec. 7, 2015, at Trinity
Hospital, in Minot, sur-
rounded by family and
friends.
Kristi was raised in
Rugby and graduated
from Rugby High School
in 1986. She was united
in marriage to Richard
“Rick” Erickson Oct. 17,
1987, in Little Flower
Catholic Church, Rugby.
The couple made their
home in Rugby and
raised their daughter,
Kali. Kristi enjoyed going
to the lake with her fami-
ly to fish or relax on the
pontoon. She enjoyed her
weekly dart and bingo
nights with some of her
closest friends and on her
down time you could al-
ways find a book in her
hand. Kristi loved to
snuggle with and care for
her three yorkies. Kristi
spent the past two years
of her life struggling with
the diagnosis of lung
cancer. She was dealt
many challenges that
many would have surren-
dered to; however, she al-
ways faced every setback
with the will to fight. Her
greatest strength came
from getting the chance to
hold and watch her first
grandchild explore and
learn the world around
her. Kristi had a per-
sonality that could make
anyone light up and was
loved by many.
Kristi is survived by:
her husband, Richard
“Rick”; daughter, Kali
and her husband, Cody
Mattson, of Bismarck;
