Anglea "Tinker" Mattox Krebs, age 83, of Anacoco, Louisiana, passed away on August 23, 2025. Born on June 27, 1942, in Leesville, Louisiana, Tinker was a beloved mother, step-mother, grandmother, and friend whose laughter and spirited personality brought joy to all who knew her. She was the daughter of Leavy Lewis and Myrtle Martin Mattox, who preceded her in death, along with her beloved husband, Donald Raymond Krebs. Tinker is survived by her son, Michael Iler, and daughter, Victoria Allen "Vycki," both of Anacoco, Louisiana. She also leaves behind her step-son, Michael Krebs, and step-daughter, Libby Krebs, both of Louisville, Kentucky. Her legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren, Devon Iler, Kyle Iler, Andrea Krebs, and Julia Tross. Tinker was known for her funny, opinionated nature and was a counselor to many who sought her wisdom. She had an open heart and a stubborn spirit that endeared her to family and friends alike. A devout Christian, Tinker loved the Lord with all her heart and found solace and strength in her faith throughout her life. In her free time, Tinker found joy in reading, tending to her yard, challenging herself with puzzles, and indulging in what she lovingly referred to as "retail therapy." A graveside service to honor Anglea "Tinker" Mattox Krebs will be held on Friday August 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Mitchell Cemetery. A visitation will be held on Friday, August 29th from 11:00 A.M. until 1:30 PM at Crystal Springs Baptist Church under the direction of Labby Memorial Funeral Home in Leesville. Family and friends are invited to gather to celebrate Tinker's remarkable life and the countless memories she created with those she loved. Tinker's spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends as they remember her fondly, cherishing the moments they shared with this extraordinary woman who touched their lives in so many ways. She will be deeply missed but remembered with love and laughter, a true testament to the vibrant life she led. Words of comfort may be expressed to the family at https://www.labbymemorialfh.com
