Carrie Elizabeth Smith Crickenberger, 85, of Crozet, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 30, 2015.  She reunited with her beloved husband, Bill, who preceded her in death on the other side.  She is survived by her brothers, John Henry Smith, Bill and Grace Smith, Tommy “Pete” and Joyce Thompson, and a sister, Mary  Ella “Polly” Reintzel.  She will be greatly missed by her daughters, Ilene “Dukie” Robinson and Bonita Toms.  She was a rock for five grandchildren and their families: Amber Lanter and Jacob Tomlin; Dana and Dede Campbell, Jordan and Kayla;, Mark and Jill Campbell, Jake, Elena, and Noah; Nikki and Kevin Brookman, Maggie and Lilly; Barbara Gordon, Katlin, Kendall, and Kelsey.

Crick served her family and community selflessly all the years of her life.  She was an active member of Mountain Plain Baptist Church for more than sixty years.  She enjoyed her membership in the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxillary.  Crick worked endlessly to build and maintain a comfortable home and provide a safe haven for her family and friends as long as she was able.  She was a skilled seamstress, gardener, and top-notch southern cook who passed along the values of honesty, faithfulness, love and compassion for others to her family.

Toward the end of her life she enjoyed a loving second home with the ladies of Blue Ridge Adult Care in Crozet.  We offer special thanks to Selena, Becky, Linda, Sam, Hailey, and Katherine for their love, committment and dedication to Crick during this time.

Her departure from this world indeed leaves a mark on her family and community, but her soul soars with the joy of  meeting with  Bill and many other loved ones.  Doubtless, she was met by her heavenly Father with the words, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

The family received visitors on June 2  at the Anderson Funeral Home Chapel. A funeral service was held at Mountain Plain Baptist Church on June 3, followed by a covered dish celebration  of Crick’s exceptional life and legacy at the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department. Rev Sam Kellum officiated at the service.

In lieu of flowers, friends may send a donation to Mountain Plain Baptist Church, 4297 Old Three Notch’d Road, Charlottesville, VA 22901, or the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department, P. O. Box 696, Crozet, VA 22932
