    1. [S4] Obituary.
      PORTSMOUTH – Shirley “Jean” Erickson, 88, entered into eternal peace on Tuesday March 26, 2013 at Webster at Rye in Rye, New Hampshire.
       Shirley was born on April 4, 1924, the daughter of the late Earle “Pop” Cournoyer and step mother Martha C. Cournoyer. She graduated from Traip Academy in 1940. She married the late John “Swede” Erickson in May 1946 and together travelled a military life until John’s retirement from service in 1961. They remained faithful companions until John’s death in 1992.
       Jean was a devote member of the North Congregational Church and an active member at Nearly New at the Parish House. Shirley was a very kind and gentle soul; she had a loving and generous heart, and was always giving to others.
