Country Ever After Star Criscilla Anderson Dies at 45 from Colon Cancer

Choreographer Criscilla Crossland Anderson, known for performing alongside stars like Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Luke Bryan has died following a long battle with colon cancer. She was 45.

The mom-of-four was first diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2018. 

After years of treatment, she was declared cancer-free in 2021. However, the disease returned in 2022, spreading to her lymph nodes. Despite the setbacks, Anderson continued fighting with resilience, faith, and an unwavering love for her family.

She also starred in the 2020 Netflix reality series Country Ever After with her ex-husband, Coffey Anderson.

Anderson and her loved ones have long been open about her diagnosis. In a November 15 Instagram post shared by her friend and photographer Lindsey, it was revealed that Anderson’s initial prognosis, given seven years earlier, estimated she had just two years to live. Despite the daunting odds, she continued dancing, advocating, and raising her children with strength and hope.
