Why Criscilla Anderson and More Influencers Announced Their Own Deaths

The former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders choreographer who starred in Netflix’s 2020 reality show Country Ever After with ex Coffey Anderson, announced her own death at 45 following a seven-year battle with colon cancer.

“If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus—peacefully and surrounded by love,” she wrote on Instagram in December 2025, posted by her friend Lindsey Villatoro. “Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment. I fought hard and I loved deeply.”

Criscilla also addressed her and Coffey’s kids Ethan, Emmarie and Everleigh, as well as step-daughter Savannah from Coffey’s previous relationship, calling them “my whole heart.”

“Ethan, you made me a mom. I’m still beside you, cheering you on,” she continued. “Savannah, my bonus girl—you were a gift God knew I needed. Emmarie, my Jesus-loving dancer—keep dancing through every season. Everleigh, my bright spark—chase your dreams boldly and without fear.”

Criscilla added, “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.”
