Erin Jolene (Dougan) Gust, 38, passed away
peacefully surrounded by the love of her family and friends on Saturday,
October 12, 2019.
Erin was many things to many people in her
short, well-lived life. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, cousin, aunt
and the most loyal, beautiful friend anyone can ask for. Erin surrounded
herself with good people throughout high school, university and beyond. Many
have remained an important part of her life.
Erin and Billy were married on June 24,
2006. In their life together they travelled to many parts of this world
experiencing different cultures and adventures most of us only dream about.
Some of her favourite destinations were India, Hawaii, Europe, Alaska, New
Zealand and the many sporting events with friends in the United States.
Before the travel bug bit, Erin completed
her Masters of Accounting Degree at the University of Saskatchewan. She enjoyed
her time working with Virtus Group in Saskatoon before becoming a mom. Erin
became an integral part of Gust Farms working from home while raising their
children. Billy and Erin were blessed with three amazing children, William, 9;
Eva, 7, and Georgia, 5.
Three years ago Erin was diagnosed with a
brain tumour. Her determination to win this fight became her legacy. Erin
organized three walks in Davidson and raised thousands of dollars for brain
tumour research. One of her wishes was for her walk to continue, raising
awareness for this cause. Her family has promised Erin that her wish will
happen. One day Erin’s efforts will be rewarded.
Erin lived life with no regrets and was
truly fearless. She lived life to the fullest every single day. Erin will
always be remembered for her infectious laugh and beautiful smile. She truly
loved her family with her entire being. Leaving them was the hardest thing she
ever did in her life. The greatest gift we can give Erin is to share her
stories. To keep her alive in our hearts. To talk about Erin to her kids, and
tell them all the amazing things she’s done. Talk about how she impacted your
life and the lives around you.
A beautiful Celebration of Erin’s Life was
held Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. in the AGT Centre. An unbelievable
gathering of family and friends came to say goodbye and surround her with love.
Erin will be deeply missed and forever
loved by her husband Billy, son Will and daughters Eva and Georgia; her mom and
dad Pat and Stuart Dougan; her brothers Andrew and Jarrett and Chandra (Ryan
and Miles); her mother and father-in-law Lorraine and Steve Gust;
brother-in-law Gerrid and Monica Gust (Hannah, Heather and Rhett);
