Erin Root

Hi, my name is Rhyan, Erin’s sister. I am gathering donations for the Root Family. Erin was the most amazing big sister a girl could ask for. Erin was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer (mTNBC) in December 2022. She fought for 11 months and went to be with the Lord on Monday, November 6th. Now, she sitting in our Heavenly Father's beautiful gardens basking in His Glory.

Erin was dedicated to her family. She was the primary caregiver as a stay-at-home mom. She is leaving behind two beautiful girls (7 & 4 years old) and handsome sons (18 and 20 years old) and the love of her life Chad. Chad was her teammate in this crazy life. She was an avid gardener, an adventurer, and the best auntie to her nephews.

As we look at how much Erin did for her family, we think of some of the gaps they might have in the day-to-day tasks. We want to collect funds so Chad and the girls will have a cushion where they may need it. We are hoping to bring some normalcy during this hard time. Nothing will replace my sister; we are just hoping that together we can help them move forward.

In lieu of flowers, we created this GoFundMe page to help the Root Family.

I love my sister, Erin. I want to help her legacy live on. She loved the world, and we loved her. We will miss her greatly.

Thank you for donating to a wonderful family.

Please continue to pray for our family. The road ahead will be hard, but love always wins.
