Creativity flowed through all areas of Erin's life: Writing, singing, art, and performing with Modesto Youth Theatre. Erin had a rare gift of music with 'perfect pitch', teaching herself to play the piano and guitar at an early age.

She is also survived by her beloved kitty, Toki. She is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Russell and Dolly Bertholf and her paternal grandparents Donald Krietsch and Roberta Ryan. A private memorial will be held by her family.
Erin's journey has come to an end. For all those who knew and loved her, she will be remembered for her big heart, many talents and keen intellect. We rest in the knowledge that she suffers no more. Rest in peace darling girl, we love you forever...
