Erin Fleury was born on this day in the City of Warwick to Karen (Matteson) Fleury and Timothy Patrick Fleury. Erin’s grandparents were the late Barbara (Riley) Fleury (1927-2015) and the late Richard B. Fleury, Sr. (1928-1992).

Although born in Warwick, Erin grew up in Central Massachusetts, where she attended the local schools and graduated from Wachusett Regional High School. Erin had a great academic and athletic career. Soccer was the sport in which she excelled. Not only did Erin make varsity each of her four years, but she became a standout on several of the Massachusetts AAU club teams. After high school, Erin chose University of Mass – Lowell to pursue her academic and soccer interests. Injuries prevented Erin from having a full four year playing career. However, in a testament to her own determination and in dedication to her teammates, Erin became an integral member of the coaching staff. Others may have walked away from the situation, but Erin embraced the circumstance and turned it into a positive.

Speaking of positives, on September 5, 2016, Erin married a great guy, Michael Garceau in a wonderful setting at the Tewksbury, MA Country Club. Now, almost four years later, Erin and Mike are eagerly awaiting a new addition to the lives, later this summer.

Happy Birthday to Erin. Enjoy the calm.
