Erin met Joe Whisner and it was an instant connection. After Joe proposed on a trip to the Ozarks, the two were married April 21, 2012 by the ocean in the Riviera Maya. They were an adventurous couple who loved being outdoors. They spent time at Lake Eufala, hosting gatherings in their backyard, and traveling the world. Erin brought her son Gunner Hagen Fleharty to marriage and their little family was established. The birth of their son Gabriel Evans completed their family of four. She loved her boys, being their mom, and was involved in all of their activities- even coaching Gabriel’s U6 boys’ soccer team.
