Deloris Crainer Barager, age 94, of Prescott, MI passed to eternal glory on Wednesday March 27, 2024 with her family by her side at the Toni and Trish Hospice House in Auburn, Michigan, following a brief illness. Deloris was born October 29, 1929 in Prescott, MI the 14th child of Gus and Meta Bergquist. She was active in her community and was a member of Judson Baptist church where she taught  Sunday School, served on the mission board, faithfully attended and prayed for anyone in need. She loved spending time with her family, loved playing (and usually winning) Skipbo, crocheting and sewing. Many people have enjoyed her creative blue jean quilts, blankets and baby outfits. She was always willing to help wherever, and however, she could.

Deloris is survived by her children, Kenneth (Julie) Crainer, of Prescott, Fayette Crainer of Bay City and Edward (Pamela) Crainer of Whittemore, 9 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild, and numerous nieces and nephews.
