Criscilla Anderson, Country Ever After star, dies at 45 from colon cancer

 Criscilla Anderson, the professional dancer and choreographer known for starring in Netflix’s 2020 reality series "Country Ever After," has died at the age of 45 after a seven-year battle with colon cancer.

Anderson’s passing was shared on Tuesday through a statement she had written before her death, posted by her close friend and photographer, Lindsey Villatoro. In the farewell message, Anderson wrote, “If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus — peacefully and surrounded by love,” urging her community to embrace life and love despite hardship.

A celebrated hip-hop dancer and choreographer, Anderson worked with major artists including Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Snoop Dogg. She also served as a choreographer for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and appeared in films such as "Fat Albert" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks." On "Country Ever After," she shared her journey battling stage 3 colon cancer while raising her children and continuing her dance career alongside country musician Coffey Anderson.

First diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2018, Anderson experienced a brief remission before being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2019. She revealed in November that her original prognosis had given her just two years to live. In the final weeks of her life, she faced complications from cancerous fluid around her heart and spread to her brain, but continued pursuing treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy, and clinical trials.

Anderson married Coffey Anderson in 2009, and the couple had three children together: Ethan, Emmarie, and Everleigh. She also helped raise Coffey’s daughter from a previous relationship, Savannah. Though Coffey filed for divorce in 2022, he posted a heartfelt tribute to Criscilla, calling her a symbol of strength and sharing that she promised butterflies would be her way of staying connected with the family.

In her final statement, Anderson addressed each of her four children, expressing love and reassurance. She thanked friends and supporters who stood by her through treatments and difficult moments, writing, “My babies… 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.”
