Erin is survived by her husband of 17 years, Chad; children Hayden and Katelyn; father and mother Rollie and Sandra; siblings Sabrina (Mark) and Shawn (Danielle); in-laws Calvin and Dianne; brother-in-law Brad (Pam); along with numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and her dog Abby.
Born in Winnipeg, MB, Erin had a passion for hard work and challenges. Always athletic and competitive growing up Erin enjoyed many sports on top of wiping the floor in every card and board game she played. Erin’s memory was nick-named ‘the vault’ if you told her once, she would not forget.
Working numerous jobs, attending school and raising her own family, she never let the stress of her busy life show. Always had a kind smile and open heart. After years of hard work, Erin obtained her bachelor of science in 2015 before obtaining a job at Manitoba Public Insurance.
Erin was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. Always up for a family adventure or a Pearl Jam concert, they loved to travel and enjoy life to its fullest. A highlight was the family trip to Disney World in December 2019.
In April 2019, Erin was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Erin, being true to herself, became her own advocate and fought for information, time, respect, and understanding in her battle. She became a warrior, inspiring love and support from anyone who met her. The mantra she made the decision to live by was #LoveEveryday.
