Christine and us were friend of over for 41 years. We will miss her just like we did WA. Had a lot of good times together Trips and a whole lot of cookouts at our House.

I knew from when i first met her that she was a strong, determined, and independent person, she remind me so much of my mom. During her time there i met her daughter Kim through many conversations she became a very dear person to me, so to Kim, Brad and Ellie the Spring Arbor Family will truly miss Mrs. Christine “Betty: Crickmore and will continue to keep you in our prayers.
Sincerely Tammy Wilson, RCD

It has a been awhile since I last saw Ms. Christine. However, when I did, it was when she was enjoying herself with friends at the Moose Lodge. She was laughing and cutting up. It was so good to see her. My mama (Lois), and Dad (Bobby), were great friends of her and her sweet husband, W.A. While all the grown ups got together, all of the kids would be together playing and having fun too. Those were fun times. To Kim and the rest of Christine’s family, I am sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort in the memories you hold dear to your heart.
