Erin Lalone, 43, of Wyoming, passed away on November 29, 2019 surrounded by the warm embrace of her family and friends. She was born August 23, 1976 in Lansing and raised in Laingsburg. A lover of all music, Erin played bass clarinet throughout school - she graduated from Laingsburg High School in 1994. She attended Grand Valley State University where she continued playing with the symphony orchestra, met her best friend Heather MacKeller, and graduated in 1999 with a degree in public relations. In 2006, she married the love of her life, Paul Lalone. Together, they adopted two daughters, Elizabeth in 2014 and Gabriella in 2017. Always one to lend a helping hand to those in need, both human and canine, Erin actively volunteered with several organizations including the Michigan Basset Hound Rescue and the Wyoming Band Boosters. Erin was a courageous fighter whose positive attitude and ability to persevere inspired all those who knew her. She is survived by her husband Paul, stepson Ben, and daughters Elizabeth and Gabriella, as well as her parents Mary and Gary Dunckel, sister Noelle (Ian) Nachreiner, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Erin is preceded in death by her grandparents Virgil and Louise Dunckel, Oliver and Ruth Ley and Uncle Creig and Aunt Priscilla Dunckel. A celebration of Erin's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Wyoming Wolves Bands.
