Devoted and inspirational Traditional Catholic, wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend: Erin Kathleen Vila was born on October 19, 1972 in Fullerton, CA, to proud parents George and Theresa Sullivan.
She was the oldest of ten children and inspired laughing, singing, and praying in the Sullivan home.
She always had a video camera in hand to catch the ever-dramatic lives of her family.
After she graduated from Elsinore High School in 1990, she toured with the Children’s Storybook Theater starring as Beauty in Beauty and the Beast .
She continued acting with this company for several years.

Even though her life on earth is over, we know that she is now continuing her mission to love and serve God in Heaven as she did on earth.
