Erin Lynn McLaughlin

Erin Lynn McLaughlin, 45, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah surrounded by her loving family after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer.

A native and lifelong resident of Wayne County, Erin was born on June 26, 1980. She was educated in the Wayne County Public School System and graduated as part of Wayne County High School Class of 1998.  Erin continued her education at Altamaha Technical College, now known as Coastal Pines Technical College, where she was recipient of an Associate’s Degree along with several diplomas in a variety of course studies including Computer Sciences and Accounting.  Erin was employed by Wal-Mart for over twenty-two years before her health forced retirement.  She was a loyal and dedicated employee who worked hard but was also a loving mother. She cherished the time she spent with her family and she dedicated herself to them first and foremost.  Erin was strong, simple and forgiving.  Her beauty was easy to see from outside and within.  She enjoyed trips to the beach in her spare time to soak up the sunshine and her laugh was contagious to anyone in the room.
