Erin Cullen Roberts, 51, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on September 3, 2025. Erin was born in Norfolk, Virginia to the late Allen "Bill" and Goldie Kovacs Cullen. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her mother-in-law Rosie Moore Marrison.

Erin was a wonderful wife, mother, and a loving sister to all her siblings. She was a proud 1992 graduate of Oscar Smith High School and a member of the chorus. She loved music and singing and listened to everything from country to K-Pop. Her favorite band was BTS. Erin blessed many with her beautiful voice singing with the gospel group His Glory for many years. She performed the National Anthem at the Tides Baseball, multiple racetracks and the South Norfolk Fourth of July Parade. Erin was also passionate about her job as an X-ray Technician. She was a die-hard fan of UFC and the Dallas Cowboys. She enjoyed taking pictures of the sky as the sun would set or when the clouds were especially pretty. She shared her infectious smile with everyone and if you were lucky enough, she would grab you for one of her infamous selfies. Her cat Rosie loved sitting by her side while they'd watch TV. Erin was most proud of being a loving wife to her husband Mark and the best mother to her three children.

Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband, Mark Roberts. She also leaves behind her three children, Cullen, Kilyn, and Teryn; siblings, Allen "Billy" Cullen,III (Kim), Keith Cullen (Tracie), and Amy Stroud (Scott); sister-in-law Heather Swanner (Bobby); brother-in-law, John Roberts, Jr.; and father-in-law, John Roberts, Sr. Erin was loved by so many. She had many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles that will miss her dearly.

A service to celebrate Erin's life will be held on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 2:00 pm at Graham Funeral Home and Crematory, 1112 Kempsville Road, Chesapeake, with Pastor Tracy Gregory officiating.
