Erin Marie Fox, age 30 years, of Ewing Township, NJ, died on Friday, June 12, 2015 at her residence.
Born in Voorhees, NJ, December 28, 1984, daughter of Michael Steven and Susan Lynn Sweitzer Fox, she had resided in Ewing for the past four years, having previously lived in New Brunswick and Raritan Township, NJ.
Erin received her B.S. in Psychology from Rutgers University, Douglass College and then went on to earn her M.A. in clinical social work from Walden University.
She was currently a Program Supervisor at Lotus Lodge within Carrier Clinic’s East Mountain Youth Lodge in Belle Mead, NJ. She had worked at Carrier Clinic for the last eight years, beginning as a Direct Care Residential Counselor. Her knowledge, coupled with genuine compassion for all those she worked with, allowed her to move into her current position quite rapidly.
Personal events, especially holidays, were often delayed and moved around because Erin wanted to be there for those people at Carrier who had no other family or friends to visit them. This genuine caring is but one of the many legacies that will live on in all those she knew.
In addition to her dedication to her ‘work family’ and friends, she was also the uniting factor in her own family and the loudest laugh usually came from Erin. She loved being an Aunt and her family was a source of great joy for her.
To sum it up succinctly, Erin had a way of making each person she met feel special. Every decision and action she made demonstrated just how big her heart was.
She was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandfather’s, James H. Sweitzer and John J. Fox, Jr. as well as by an uncle, David J. Fox.
Surviving, in addition to her parents, are a brother and sister-in-law, Patrick M. and Amy E. Fox of Ringoes, NJ; a sister, Katelyn E. Houser of Slatington, PA; her maternal grandmother, MaryAnne Sweitzer of Penny Farms, FL; her paternal grandmother, Joan P. Hunt; her niece, Lilabelle Noel Houser; several aunts, uncles and cousins; her boyfriend, Christopher Watt; her Carrier Clinic family; and many friends.
A Mass of Christian burial will be concelebrated by Rev. Krzysztof Kaczynski and Msgr. David Fulton on Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. in Our Lady of Victories Parish, 1005 Route 519, Baptistown, NJ (please use Frenchtown, NJ 08825 for those using a GPS). Everyone is kindly asked to meet directly at the church on Thursday morning by 10:15 a.m. Erin loved the color green, so it is the family’s request that everyone wear something green, any shade, if possible in her honor.
Public Visitation will be Wednesday, June 17, 2015 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. in the church. Interment will be private. Arrangements are under the care of Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ.
Family and friends are invited to visit Erin’s permanent memorial site at www.wrightfamily.com where they can view her obituary, send a public or private message of condolence and share photos and stories with the family.
Considering Erin’s great love of those she worked with, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are asked to be made to “East Mountain Youth Lodge Programming”, c/o Carrier Clinic Development Office, PO Box 147, Belle Mead, NJ 08502.

To The Fox Family,
We are so shocked, saddened and so very sorry to hear about Erin's death. Erin was a lovely, very sweet and caring girl. Our wonderful memories of her are from the time she dated Erik. Memories of going to baseball games, softball games, family get-togethers, going to the beach and being part of Ryan and Heather's Wedding. We always enjoyed her company.
Please know she will always be remembered. Be assured Heaven has Welcomed Her with open arms.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With Our Deepest Sympathy,
Diane and Bruce Holck

I apologize sincerely for your loss.
Erin was an amazing women, and I looked up to her in every way! It is always sad to see someone go this young, she was taken too soon. She always had a glow about her, could make everyone smile without even trying. And knowing her for the short time I did, she touched my heart in many ways. Rest easy princess.

I didn't know Erin personally-but our lives have been intertwined for over 50 years and of course I have updates on all your family and stayed so close to your Mom--my dear and sweet life-long friend, Mary--therefore have always had reports on all the grandchildren as they've come along and grown up. My heart is broken for all of you and I wish I could be there for the services. The Lord promises comfort and peace during these times--and my prayer is that He will guide you through this "valley" and heal your broken hearts.

I had the privilege of working with Erin at EMYL from 2007 to 2009 and was very shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. I have since worked in several mental health treatment facilities and now realize just how rare someone like Erin is. She had an incredible ability to maintain empathy and compassion for the residents, even in the most stressful and hectic of times (and there were plenty of them). Her positivity and patience are qualities that all of us in the field work so hard to get, but always seemed to come so effortlessly to Erin. My sincere condolences to her friends, family, and "carrier family". Such a tragic loss that will be felt by so many.

My heart hurts so deeply. Erin was my sister from another mother. I am shocked and saddened by this loss but know how Erin would like us to be. A woman who was devoted to making sure others lives were on track before her own, making sure others smiled before she did, and that they knew everything would be ok. A loving daughter, sister, and aunt,who would always talk about her family about how everyone was doing good and how proud she was!
To her family may you find peace during this difficult time.. May you find peace in knowing you daughter changed people's lives for the better. And may you know she will be with you every step of the way.
Erin thank you for being everything you were to me. Thank you for being my friend, my shoulder I could lean on when times were tough. My 3am phone call just to talk! Our memories will never be lost and your way of life will never be forgotten!!! But most of all a person I respected and was proud to call my friend/sister from another mother. To my friend may you Rest In Peace and will wait for the day to see you again! I love you my friend
