Anne Crispin Lippincott, age 71, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and adventure. Crispin was born and raised in Atlanta Georgia, attended Converse University and began her career as a flight attendant. She spent many years living in Honolulu, Hawaii before retiring in Fort Myers, Florida. She was a proud member of the Daughter's of the American Revolution (DAR), and a devoted member of the Iona Hope Episcopalian church.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents William Crispin Lippincott and Anne Smythe Lippincott, and her sister Clayton Lippincott Peterson. She is survived by her devoted life partner, Rick Kirkbride; her brother, William Cassidy (and Beth) Lippincott, as well as her cherished nieces Helen and Kate Peterson, and Abby (and David) Fankhauser and nephew, Ben Lippincott.

Crispin spent more than 30 years as a flight attendant with Northwest Orient and later Delta Airlines, where her kindness, warmth, and vibrant spirit touched countless lives. She brought joy to everyone she encountered and was known for her generous heart, her sense of humor, and her ability to make each person feel valued.

A true adventurer at heart, Crispin loved to travel and embraced every opportunity to see the world. During her time in Honolulu, she developed a passion for sailing and love for the sea and enjoyed sailing weekly with some of her dearest friends. In retirement, she and Rick embarked on more than 20 worldwide cruises, visiting extraordinary places, immersing themselves in diverse cultures, and building lifelong friendships along the way. These journeys became a treasured chapter of her life, filled with wonder and unforgettable memories.

Crispin's life was one of love, joy, and fullness. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known her. Her radiant spirit will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
