Erin Jo Sanders, 33, passed away at her home Thursday, April 30, 2020 of a drug overdose.
She was born Nov. 7, 1986 in La Porte, Ind.
Erin was a beloved daughter and granddaughter. She had a special bond with her grandparents. Erin was a proud 2005 La Porte High School graduate. She had a huge heart for animals, especially cats. Erin loved baking shows, driving her car, true crime mysteries, rollercoasters, haunted houses, and arts and crafts.
She struggled with life on a daily basis. It is our hope that she has found the peace that eluded her on earth when God and her grandparents welcomed her into their heavenly home.
Surviving are her parents, Ron and Nancy Sanders; her five cats, Smoothie, Gray Day, Casper, Autumn and Macaroni; and her neighbors’ cat, Jeff-Zuma.
Preceding in death were her paternal grandparents, Wilbur and Marie Sanders, and maternal grandparents, Marcel and Violet DeVolder.
Cremation will take place. There will be no service. Lakeview Funeral Home & Crematory, 247 W. Johnson Rd., La Porte, Ind. (219) 362-3100 is handling the arrangements.
