Erin M. Nagel

Erin Marie Nagel, 54, of Gilbert, Arizona, passed away on April 19th, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer.  Throughout her journey she inspired all with her positive energy, optimism, and grace.

Erin was born on February 6th, 1970, in Waterbury, Connecticut.  After she graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1988, she went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Western Connecticut State University.  For the last 21 years, Erin has worked for Automated Data Processing, most recently as an Enterprise Learning Business Partner.

Erin is survived by her loving husband, Fred; children Brennan, Callahan, and Cooper; father Daniel Moriarty; sister Jennifer Moriarty; brothers in law Michael Nagel and John Schneider; nieces Gianna and Sophia Nagel and Kennedy Schneider, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends, who have offered much love and support throughout her life.

Erin is predeceased by her mother, Kathleen (Kelly) Moriarty and was greatly missed.

Erin was a devout fan of the Boston Red Sox, UCONN basketball, the New England Patriots and any team that Tom Brady played on.  She had a deep love of music, especially U2, the Gipsy Kings, and Billie Holiday.

A lifelong lover of art, Erin was passionate about the use of color and light to lift the hearts and souls of all who have had the honor of knowing her.  Her strength, enduring spirit, and creativity will forever live on through her paintings and in our hearts.
