In Loving Memory

Erin Brunner
December 8, 1981 — April 13, 2026
Erin Brunner, beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2026, at the age of 44. Born on December 8, 1981, in Bedford, Ohio, Erin's life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and unwavering commitment to those around her.
A proud graduate of Miami University in Ohio, Erin earned her Bachelor of Science degree, leaving an indelible mark not only in academics but also in the social circles that revolved around the local bars, where she forged lifelong friendships, including those with legends like QB Ben Roethlisberger. Erin furthered her education with a degree from The Ohio State University, a testament to her dedication to personal growth and learning.
Erin's professional life was defined by her work with CSM, where she served since 2020. Her dedication to patient care was unparalleled, and she left a lasting impact on the 50 facilities she visited during her career. Known for her tenacity and ability to multitask, Erin's contributions were cherished by colleagues who admired her commitment and strength. Her legacy will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of working alongside her.
Erin had a unique zest for life, which was evident in her hobbies and interests. She cherished moments spent with her fellow Vestavia moms over mimosas and found joy in gardening, often after the mudslides that frequented the HWY 31 area. Her laughter was infectious, and her spirit was unyielding, qualities that endeared her to all who knew her.
Erin was the cherished wife of Dave and the devoted mother to her daughters, Lillian and Avery. Her family was the center of her universe, and her love for them was boundless. Though Erin has left this earthly realm, her spirit lives on in the hearts of her loved ones. She was predeceased by the rest of her colleagues, affectionately remembered as "this freaking company," who shared in her journey.
While Erin is no longer with us, her memory will be celebrated and cherished eternally. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made to Dabbs' Family Food Fund, a cause close to Erin's heart.
As we remember Erin, let us honor her by emulating the warmth, compassion, and dedication she demonstrated throughout her life. Her light will continue to shine brightly through the lives of those she touched, reminding us of the profound impact one person can make in the world.
