. Erin's unbreakable bond with her daughters was undeniable. She relished in the role of motherhood and invested herself in any school projects or interests in which her daughters were involved. Erin consistently surrounded her children with love, affection, and attention. Erin cherished her role as an older sister. As an adult, she became her sisters' self-appointed life coach/caregiver as well as her nieces' and nephews' second mother. Erin was always available to talk through obstacles and never asked for anything in return. She always inspired a positive self-image and empowered everyone to meet their full potential. She extended love and support to all of her family and friends. She maintained friendships well into adulthood which began early in her youth, and she is survived by her closest friend, Salina Durst. She had the most amazing laugh, and her fun spirit and sense of humor, along with her optimistic energy, brightened the spirits of everyone around her. She was selfless, and extended help to anyone in need. Erin was truly beautiful inside and out, she will be missed more than anyone can express. Cremation rites have been accorded. A Celebration of Erin's Life will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., on Tuesday, October 23, 2018, at Maple Lane Country Club in Elmwood.
