Obituary
LaRae J. Craig • 1956 - 2007
LaRae J. Craig, 51, Bottineau, ND, died Friday, January 26, 2007 in a Minot hospital.
LaRae Olson was born on January 5, 1956, a twin daughter of Darrell and Carol (Auck) Olson in Edmore, ND. She was raised on a farm near Webster, ND until 1966, when the family moved to a farm near Edmore, ND, where she graduated from Edmore High School in 1974. She attended Minot Business College, and finished her schooling in Sioux Falls, SD in 1977, when she returned to Minot.
LaRae dealt blackjack and was the owner/operator of the Wranglers Café in Minot. On August 8, 2002, she was united in marriage to John "Gator" Craig. They made their home in Bottineau, where she worked as a secretary for Pamida.
LaRae had two children from a previous marriage, and was blessed three beautiful grandchildren, the last two twins. They were her sunshine. She had a glow about her when she would spend time with them. Everyone who knew LaRae will remember her as a kind, gentle, caring, beautiful woman. She could sing like an angel.
LaRae will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She has touched our lives and filled them with so much love. One day we will all be together again, but until then, we will love and miss her.
