Cricket Hince went home to heaven on Sunday, November 27, 2022, after a lengthy battle with leukemia.

Born Cricket Shandell Bailey, in Long Beach, California, to Martin Bailey and Vicki Eckart Bailey, on January 27, 1974. She grew up in Casper, Wyoming and eventually settled in Texas, living in Brownwood, Comanche and then Bangs. Cricket was a warm hug away for anyone who needed it and had a giving heart. She formed bonds with friends that turned into family.

Cricket is survived by her husband, Dennis Hince; her son, Jeremy McConnell and girlfriend Lea; her stepson, Ronnie Doll-Hince; also, by her beloved Uncle Randy Kirkwood and Aunt Tammy Nab; as well as many more family and friends.

Cricket was preceded in death by her parents.

A memorial will be held later for anyone that wishes to attend.
