Lee Ann Critcher

Lee Ann Critcher, age 69, of Spindale, NC passed away on December 01, 2025. Lee Ann was the daughter of Solon "Monk" Womack and Evangeline Padgette Womack.

Survived by a husband, 3 kids, 2 grandchildren, and a world of people who were lucky to know her. There will never be another.

Mimi was one of a kind. To know her was to love her and BE loved by her. Whether you walked into her place of work and saw her smiling face or you came into her kitchen and sat around the table just to visit and laugh… you knew she loved you and had your back. Her kids were her heart, her friends were her sisters, and her grandchildren were her entire world. She was a mama bear like no other, and no one would come between her and the love for her babies.

Funky, sassy, and the best gardener. Her plants and flowers also brought her the most joy. Sitting on the back porch and looking at her flowers with a cup of coffee was her happy place. Some people call flowers and plants "work", but to Mimi it was therapy. She would create pots and gardens of flowers and happiness every single year without missing a beat. The sun, the birds, and the butterflies appreciated her just as much as we do.

A human not to be underestimated or forgotten. She was a beacon. There are not enough words in the dictionary to do her justice.

Services will be held on Friday December the 5th at 4:30PM at Crowe's Mortuary. The family will receive friends from 3:00PM-4:30PM. Online condolences may be made at www.crowemortuary.com.
