Criscilla Anderson, known for Country Ever After, has died. The 45-year-old mom of four had been diagnosed with colon cancer seven years prior.
“My sweet community, If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus — peacefully and surrounded by love. Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment. I fought hard and I loved deeply. I am not gone… I’m Home,” Anderson wrote before she died. Her friend, Lindsey, shared the post on social media on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
Anderson went on to share a message to each of her kids (including her “bonus” daughter, Savannah).
“My babies… I am watching over you. When a moment feels warm, familiar, or too beautiful to be coincidence — that’s me. I’m still mothering you. I’m still yours. #everybutterfly,” Anderson continued. She thanked her family before sharing her one wish.
“Be gentle with each other. Hold my children close. And remember: heaven isn’t as far away as it feels,” she said.
Anderson’s ex-husband, Coffey Anderson, who filed for divorce in 2022, also posted a message to his late wife.
“We miss you already. Our hearts are shattered. Our minds are jumbled. Our lives will never be the same. The house is quieter because you’re missing. The babies are resilient and strong as ever. We did good with them,” he wrote. “So, dance your heart out on the beach in heaven. No more pain, no colostomy bag, no more neuropathy, no chemo, or radiation and you can eat as much dessert as you want with no calories.”
The Andersons starred in Country Ever After, a reality television series that was released by Netflix in 2020.
