Mary Jo (Erickson) Farleigh, 75, was surrounded with love and carried to her heavenly home on the wings of the Holy Spirit on Monday, March 11, 2024. She was a treasured wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Mary Jo met the love of her life, Abe Farleigh, while they served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Together, they built a beautiful home and touched countless lives.

Mary Jo is survived by husband, Abe; sons, Kevin (Diane), and Eric (Renee) and their families; special joy, Austin Farleigh; siblings Jayne Erickson, Jean (Paul) Farleigh, Rick (Lorie) Erickson, and their families.
