Netflix star Criscilla Anderson announces her own death online: 'I'm not gone—I'm home'
Criscilla Anderson, who starred in the Netflix show Country Ever After, announced her own death on social media.
"If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus—peacefully and surrounded by love," a letter written by the reality TV star before her passing and shared on Instagram by her friend Lindsey Villatoro on Dec. 2 read.
"Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment," she continued. "I fought hard and I loved deeply. I am not gone… I’m home."
She gave a shoutout to her children. "I am watching over you. When a moment feels warm, familiar, or too beautiful to be a coincidence—that’s me. I’m still mothering you. I’m still yours."
She also thanked her sisters—her "circle of women"—"for holding me when I couldn’t stand, wiping my tears, taking me to appointments, and making me laugh. You were God’s hands in my life for years."
She then expressed her gratitude to her family "for loving me so unconditionally." She added, "Please take care of one another—my love is still wrapped around you."
"Be gentle with each other. Hold my children close. And remember: Heaven isn’t as far away as it feels," she continued. "I love you all. Always."
Anderson battled colon cancer. She went into remission in 2021, though the cancer returned the following year.
She used to be a choreographer for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. She became part of Country Ever After on Netflix in 2020.
She's survived by her kids: Ethan, 14, Emmarie, 12, and Everleigh, 9, whom she shares with country musician Coffey Anderson. She also has another child named Savannah, 17, from a previous relarionship.
