Julie Lynn (Collins) Erickson went home to the angels on June 23, 2012. Born on April 26, 1969, the daughter of Carter Collins and Janice Kahn.

She attended San Gorgonio High School, and graduated from Los Amigo's High School. She obtained certification to teach Pilates from the University of Las Vegas. Her whole career was physical fitness, and she opened her first Pilates studio in 1997. Eventually she opened a full service gym, Mind & Body Resort in Lake Havasu City.

She loved helping others achieve their goals, including helping others with her local television series of yoga classes; a warm and caring teacher and friend to all that came to know her.

Julie moved to Lake Havasu City in 1992. She loved the river and all it had to offer; boating, wake boarding, paddle boarding. Her loving nature surrounded her children and her pets. She greeted everyone she met as if they would be a friend for life. Julie will live in our hearts and memories forever.

Julie is survived by her parents Janice and Ron Kahn, Carter and Kathy Collins; one son Shelby Erickson; one daughter Zena Erickson; one sister, Christina Lung; and two step brothers Josh Kahn and Ryan Kahn.
