Erin Obituary

Erin Renae (Heavilin) Corwin of Twentynine Palms, CA went to be with the Lord on June28, 2014. Erin, originally from Oak Ridge, was a doting wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece and friend. Erin's friends remember her as being a great confidant who was always willing to go above and beyond to help anyone she knew. Erin's love for animals, especially horses, will live on in the memories of those closest to her. Erin's nurturing soul led her to become the mother of dozens of animals in her short life. Her "children" ranged from fish and guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Before her husband Jon's career in the United States Marine Corps took them to California, Erin worked at Tractor Supply in Oak Ridge and spent most of her free time with her horse or checking out the latest yard sales with her mom and brother. Though Erin enjoyed being in California, she and Jon were looking forward to being able to move back to East Tennessee next year.
Erin is preceded in death by her youngest sister Trisha Heavilin and father-in-law Michael Braden.
Erin will be greatly missed by her loving husband USMC CPL Jonathan Corwin, parents William and Lore Heavilin of Oak Ridge, mother-in-law Sheila Braden of Oak Ridge, parents-in-law Tommy and Patricia Corwin of Sevierville, sisters Kristy and Taylor, brothers Keith, Jon, and Alex, multiple grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
