Cricket spent her working life in the dental industry with orthodontist Dr. John Keahey. She took great pride in giving her patients a beautiful smile. She moved to Atlanta in 1995 to be with her family and that is where she spent the rest of her life, surrounded by so much love. Her happy place was at the beach where she would walk the shore collecting seashells and spotting marine life. She always had a jar full of shells to bring home with her after every vacation. She also had a love for baking, which we all loved because she made delicious desserts. Our all-time favorite would have to be her pound cake with homemade chocolate fudge syrup. 

Roselawn Funeral Home has the honor of serving the family.
