In a now-deleted Facebook post, Autumn’s older sister Misty remembered as her “dearest baby sister.”
Misty wrote, “You were robbed of your life at such a tender age. You left before anyone could tell you goodbye. How much we love you. How amazing you are and how proud we are of you for staying sober through some of the toughest parts of your life, how far you’ve came from where you were, how thankful we are to have had all these years with you, how proud of you we are as a mother, how grateful we are for the 3 tiny parts of your heart that are still walking this earth.”
Misty was referencing Autumn’s three kids.
“I promise you I will love life in your honor,” Misty went on. “These babies will always know how much you love them, how amazing you are, how special you are, how much you sacrificed and overcame for them, everything and nothing short of it.”
In 2014, Autumn appeared on “16 & Pregnant” with then-boyfriend Dustin Franklin, the father of her son Drake, 10.
Crittendon’s death is currently under investigation.
