Erin Rochelle Norris, 11, of Lusby, MD passed away September 29, 2009 in Children's Hospital, Washington, DC.

Born August 6, 1998 in Leonardtown, MD to Dawn Marie Norris and Ernest I. Norris, Jr. She is survived by her mother, father, her sister Rachel Marie Norris, her brother Joshua Shane Norris, and many family and friends.

Erin was a very special treasure from the day she was born and brought much happiness and joy to her family and friends. She loved everyone and would quickly give smiles, hugs, and kisses. It seemed that love just flowed out of her and people were immediately drawn to her sweet spirit. She cared for people very much and it would upset her if someone was sick or hurt so she would pray for them to be healed. She loved workbooks and markers, bubbles, butterflies, hummingbirds, and spending time with her friends, especially her classmates and neighbors. But her best friend who she enjoyed the most was her big sister, Rachel. They were buddies and Erin enjoyed their special times together.
