A single Utah mother of two small children who was raising money for her own funeral after being diagnosed with cancer has died, according to her family.

The doctor told her there were multiple tumors that had metastasized to other parts of her body, including her skeletal system.

Diarte-Carr started a GoFundMe account after her diagnosis with the modest goal of $5,000. As of Oct. 14, the fund has skyrocketed to more than $1.17 million.

Doctors told Diarte-Carr in September she had three months to live. Her cousin, Angelique Rivera, posted on Facebook on Saturday that Diarte-Carr had died.

"It is with a heavy heart that this is the final update I will be giving for my cousin Erika. She has joined her mother Sylvia, her Brother JJ, her uncles Chava & Loui on the other side," Rivera wrote. "She fought a long and hard battle. She was strong and held on as long as she could for her babies. I know she was so thankful for all of your support and love and prayers."

Diarte-Carr leaves behind her two children: 7-year-old Jeremiah and 5-year-old Aaliyah.
