   Erin Elizabeth Allen, age 39, of Jewett, went home to her Lord and Savior Thursday October 26, 2017 from Akron Children’s Hospital where she was receiving treatment for cystic fibrosis.

   Born August 14, 1978 in Steubenville she was a daughter of Billie and Bob Dyer of Germano and Jack Cawthorn of Jewett.

While in high school she worked for Domino’s Pizza in Cadiz. After graduating from college she worked in data processing for Bank One in Toronto.

She also managed a website that advocated for families that struggle with infertility.

   Erin was a devout Christian who read her Bible every day and had attended Abiding Love Fellowship in Germano. She enjoyed traveling with her husband but what she loved most was time spent doing for others especially her family and friends.
