Emily Hanson-Miller, a popular social media influencer known online to her thousands of followers as ‘ThriftyFatty’, has died aged 37.

According to People, the fashion and travel blogger died on Thursday. Her death was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Franklin County Coroner’s Office in Columbus, Ohio.

Hanson-Miller died just several days after sharing a concerning post to Instagram about how she was struggling with grief following the loss of her grandmother and a cousin that she considered to be a ‘brother’.

‘Last week I think everything caught up to me. While I was ignoring it my grief has affected every piece of my life,’ she wrote.

‘I paused long enough to realize I haven’t been taking care of myself at all. I haven’t been binge free in a few months after not doing it for years. I’ve focused so much on being supportive and helpful that I feel like it’s all I’m good for now. Nobody wants to have fun with the girl with no spark in her eyes,’ she continued.

‘It’s ironic that I started posting on socials years and years ago because I was so determined to be vulnerable and make sure no woman out there ever feels like they’re on an island. And then I blinked and realized I found myself on one.’

‘So maybe this is my life raft trying very hard to get myself off this island. Maybe I can pretend this isn’t because I just deeply needed to get words off my chest and instead because I want other women to feel seen.’

She finished, ‘I don’t have a bow to wrap this up in considering I’m still focused on finishing this raft. But while I’m working on mine, if you’re working on yours, why don’t you tie onto mine and we can try get back to land together.’

This was her final post on social media.

Hanson-Miller boasted over 120,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok.

She was best known for travel blogging and creating content around affordable fashion.

In October, she shared a post about enjoying a trip to Paris.

‘Went to Paris with the love of my life and my best friends. I will never forget a single second of this trip. Lucky lucky lucky,’ she gushed.

Just one month before that, Hanson-Miller celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary to wife Gayle.

‘One year since the wedding of our dreams and two years since we secretly said I do,’ she wrote alongside a carousel of herself and Gayle on their wedding day.

‘You’re the wife of my dreams and I can’t wait to be disgustingly in love with you for the rest of my life. Ain’t nobody better than you Gayle Miller.’

Hanson-Miller’s friends and family are holding a celebration of life at Rumors bar in Columbus, Ohio on Sunday.

The venue also asked for ‘a donation in lieu of flowers’ to help Hanson-Miller’s widow with expenses.
