Erin was a huge ball of energy and everyone she was around enjoyed having her company. She was very loved especially by her nieces and nephews, the best auntie ever. Erin always said that she thought of her nieces and nephews as her own and treated them so. Her niece, Brady Standing Rock (Gewls), had her wrapped around her finger and she always talked about her "Bestie." Erin was so caring and always willing to help when she could. She never had the intention to marry or be in a relationship because she always said she didn't want to be miserable like her sisters. And her nephews always asked why she didn't have a boyfriend.

Erin really enjoyed fixing things and "tried" to be a jack of all trades. Her favorite past time was gambling, babysitting, and making the most of her days. Her younger years, she enjoyed hanging out with her friends, playing basketball, and doing what she wanted, when she wanted.
