Erin Melissa Phillips passed away in Lehi, Utah, on Dec. 26, 2019. She was 35.
Erin was born June 13, 1984, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Nick and Donna Phillips of Lake Point.
Erin attended Monroe Elementary, West Lake Junior High, and graduated from West High School. She was a terrific student.
As a youngster she loved our trips to Lake Powell; and spending her summer breaks with her Grandma Helen and Grandma Dodie in Colorado. As a teen she wanted to be with her friends; she has hundreds of pictures. Erin enjoyed driving with her dad in his ’55 Belaire, making beaded bracelets for her mom, galloping on Zephyr, her favorite horse, walking her dogs, Gizmo and Bella, and living life to the fullest. Her smile could light up a room.
Erin is survived by her parents, Nick and Donna; her brother Kris, sister-in-law Nune; grandmother Helen Wellington, Colorado; paternal grandparents Keith and Charlotte Phillips, Michigan; and her extended family George, Margarita, and Suzy Khachaturyan, Murray, Utah; and her dog Bella.
A visitation will be held Saturday, Jan. 11, 2020, from 2 to 4 p.m., at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main St., Tooele, Utah.
