Phyllis "Elaine" Craymer

She was born March 23, 1944 in Pittsburg, Kansas to Millard and Thelma (Clark) Cronister. On September 28, 1974 she married Paul Arthur Craymer in Muskegon, Michigan. In her younger years, you might find her anywhere from barrel racing, drag car racing, or simply baiting a hook to relax and fish. You could often find her and Paul packing the motorhome, be it for a horse show or to spend a weekend with one of their camping groups. Elaine loved baking, she made many cakes over the years, whether it was someone’s wedding or birthday, she had you covered. She also had many crafts throughout her life, from crocheting, to glass etching, sewing, and her latest, machine embroidery, but nothing could ever compare to her love of fishing and horses. She was active in the Muskegon County 4-H program, where she would cheer everyone on, giving many that love of horses she carried throughout her life. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Paul Craymer; 4 children, William “Bill” (Kris) Rieger, Anthony “Tony” Rieger, Lora (Robert) Langworthy, and Arthur (Amber) Craymer; 10 grandkids, Nacole, Kyle (Ashleigh) Rieger, Derek, Zachary, Brittany, and Joshua Bryant, Sally (Joey) Meyers, Robert Langworthy Jr, Ashlee (John) Shultz, and Kayley Craymer; in-laws; Lisa (Clint) Burroughs, Eric (Sharon) Craymer; 9 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, and granddaughter.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Fruitport Conservation Club on Saturday, August 24, 2024 from 2:00-4:30 p.m.
