Erin (Koss) Skinner, 52, was born on March 9, 1970 and lived a full but short life. She traveled, sought knowledge and loved with her whole life. Erin was an E.M.T and a creator. She created costumes, gardens, recipes, businesses and even steampunked a house, but she mostly created memories.

Erin had some serious health problems that she managed with the help of her beloved husband, Mike, Noah, Chancy Pants, Lil Joe and the Prince Obi-Kye. Erin's wishes were that no memorial service be held, and that well-wishers, create, light a fire, enjoy an evening sunset, the earliest spring daffodils or fluttering butterflies and think of her and know that she is pain free and happy.
