Erin West Remembered as a True Gift and Blessing
West, 42, was a wife of 20 years, a mother of three girls, and a teacher. Lifelong friends told TMJ4 that Erin was a true gift and a blessing—devoted to her Christian faith and service. Last week, a member of Doxa Church shared with TMJ4 how her kindness and character impacted many.
"She really cared fiercely for the people she loved,” said Nate Kaloupek, who served alongside Erin at Doxa Church. “One of the things that people have been bringing up, and people are going to miss, is how much she truly cared for people and put herself out to serve others."

West's impact as a teacher shined through in a statement released by Abundant Life Christian School, which said in part:
"ALCS is a better school because of the work of Erin West. She brought her love of Jesus and love of people to our staff and school family, all wrapped in a hug and topped with a smile."
