Her husband, Clarence E. Criner; her parents, Winfred and Mary Price; and her brothers, Winfred E. Price Jr. and John R. Price, preceded her in death.
She is survived by her sisters-in-law, Nancy Price, of Pilot, and Greta Price, of Prices Fork.

A devout Christian, she was a member of St. Michael's Lutheran Church, where for many years she was known as the decoration lady for all the Happy Go Lucky Club events. She was an accomplished crocheter and donated many beautiful handmade afghans to the Prices Fork Grange Fair each year. She will be missed by all who knew her.
