Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Erin Kenyon Miller, 22, passed away on August 17, 2021 in Charlotte, NC. She was born on January 02, 1999 in Wicomico County, MD to Daniel Miller and Jennifer Cox and grew up in Berlin, MD.
She grew up living in Ocean Pines, and had numerous friends from her time at Showell Elementary, Berlin Intermediate, Stephen Decatur Middle, and Stephen Decatur High Schools. As a child she swam with the Hammerheads in Ocean Pines, and spent time in the Brownies. She grew up spending a lot of time with her friends at the beach, and collecting stray animals to bring back home to raise. Erin lived in Colorado for a brief time after school, returning to Maryland and eventually giving birth to her beautiful daughter, River.
Recently, Erin and River were living in Charlotte, NC with her mother Jenna, and stepfather Jay. Erin loved her daughter River with all of her heart, she loved her brother Joshua, and she loved all kinds of music. Her friends were important to her, and she found wisdom and solace in the words of Emily Dickinson. She liked to read Fantasy fiction, loved unique clothing, and often expressed her feelings in words and drawings. She was a beautiful girl with a huge heart, that felt so deeply that it often overwhelmed her. She is free now, free from the pain she felt, free from the need to hide from it, and free from the sadness it caused her. She will be missed as deeply as she was loved.
She leaves behind her daughter, River Emily; brother, Joshua Miller; father, Daniel Miller; mother, Jennifer Cox and step-father Jay Cox; step-sister, Carly Cox; grandfather, Fred Miller; grandmother, Sandy Huss; and numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins.
There will be a forthcoming Celebration of Life with details to follow.

Baelie Gaudioso says
My heart goes out to all of E’s family. Words cannot describe how much we will miss you beautiful even in your darkest days you were always the light in everyone else’s. My heart aches for River but I know she will grow up strong like you, hearing about how much her mother loved her and just wanted the best for her always, knowing how amazingly beautiful you and your soul was and always will be. Rest easy Erin keep your family strong.
Jenna aka “Momma” says
Thank you to all of you that have shared such beautiful memories, painful feelings of loss as well as kind supportive words for Erin’s family, especially River. No doubt Erin will always be one of a kind. She was my peach, my lady Jane, my wolf pup…to say she is missed does not come close to the truth as there are no words to adequately describe what her absence feels like. It is said that intense grief is the mirror of intense love. This makes sense to me not only because Erin is loved so much but also because she was definitely “intense” in just about every aspect of her life!
