Erin lived a full and beautiful life. After graduating from Rangeview High School, she obtained her nursing degree from The Community College of Denver. She took pride in serving her community.

During her time there she earned several awards, most notably the Nightingale award for compassionate nursing. She and her sister Shannon formed a non-profit, Malas for Tatas, to help others heal through breast cancer treatment. Erin is remembered for welcoming, loving, and accepting others, for her love of music, nature, travel, art and literature, and for her signature side eye.
