Of Wall, age 54, passed away peacefully at her home, after a courageous struggle with cancer, on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
Erin is survived by her longtime companion, roommate and love of her life, Paul Mrdjenovich of Wall; her mother Mary Ellen (late Joseph) McAndrew; her son Corey Lucarelli of TX; as well as her siblings, Joseph T.

Erin was born on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1970 and was passionate about her Irish heritage. She deeply loved her son, family and her many, many friends. Erin was known for her enthusiastic greetings accompanied with a very big smile and her enormous, gracious personality. Whenever one spent time with Erin, that person walked away feeling better about themself. Erin treasured bike riding, taking pictures, baking and travelling. Her trip to Ireland in September was the most memorable and finest of her lifetime.
Erin was a 1988 graduate of East Allegheny High School and attended nursing school through CCAC. During her career as a nurse, she provided compassionate care at many levels. Erin served for a longtime as an administrator at Golden Living Senior Care and rose to the rank of Regional Vice President of Business Development.
