Kricket was born November 17th in Kansas City, Kansas the daughter of George and Donna Addington.

She was one of six children but their precious first daughter. Her mother was overjoyed by being blessed with a sweet baby girl to put in bonnets and buy dresses for from the very beginning after wrangling 4 boys before her. Kricket had an immense love for her family, children and animals. She was known for taking in any stray within 100 miles of her vicinity. Kricket had a contagious smile that would light up any room and the most amazing unforgettable blue eyes. She had a gift for drawing and a love for music. Kricket's favorite color was pink, she loved polka dots and she always left the house dressed to impress.

She met the love of her life, Jeffrey Winn, in the spring of 2014. They enjoyed raising their dogs and grandbabies (Maddi & Memphis) together. When Jeff and Kricket were not busy with friends and family, they spent their free time supporting the Royals and enjoying concerts. Their faith in God led them on their path together for the last ten years.

Preceded in joining the Lord: Mother, Donna Addington. Kricket is survived by her father, Bud Addington; fiancé, Jeffrey Winn; her sister, Tiffany Addington; brothers, Chip Addington, Brad Addington, Shawn Addington, and many nephews, nieces, cousins, grandbabies, and friends. Her departure leaves an undeniable void in their lives, yet they find comfort in the memories and everlasting love they share through God's grace.
