Cricket was born and raised in Bowling Green Kentucky where she was the youngest of 9. She loved to sing, dance, laugh; she loved country music and especially Elvis Presley. Cricket lived her life through her children and grandchildren and enjoyed being around her family and friends.
She always had something on the stove cooking because you never knew who was going to be stopping by. Those who knew Cricket knew that they would have to adjust their schedule because Cricket always had more time than most. You never left the house without a big long hug, kiss and I love you honey, come back soon.
Cricket's family would like to take this time to say "Thank You" for sharing this day with us. Your kind words and prayers are very much appreciated.
