Eryn McEntee

Scholar, Healer, Daughter, Sister, Friend Eryn Rose McEntee, ND, sadly left her friends and family to meet her Heavenly Father in the early morning hours of January 1, 2020. Eryn died as she lived, praying the rosary with her prayer book by her side, ever cognizant of our human vulnerability and essential reliance on the Creator at all times. Born on October 13, 1984, to the late William B. McEntee, Jr. and the late Ann A. (DiDonato) McEntee, Eryn was the 2002 valedictorian of John F. Kennedy High School. She went on to receive her BS from the University of Chicago and her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA. This brought her to Seattle, WA where she settled down into a vibrant, spiritual community called Communion and Liberation. Her many interests included pen and ink, painting, knitting, crocheting, cooking, book-making, hiking, and anything she could do with others. Eryn volunteered at a number of nonprofits including Mary's Place, 3W, PCC and countless advocacy programs for those struggling with addiction.
