Mary “Loraine” (Christman) Crawford
April 7, 1937 - May 12, 2022
Mary “Lorraine” (Christman)
Crawford, resident of Joseph,
passed to heaven on May 12, 2022,
at her home. Born April 7, 1937, in
Baker, to Fred and Lillian (Transue)
Christman, Lorraine grew up in
North Powder, graduating from
North Powder High school in 1955
and completing business school in
Baker.
She met Gerald Crawford of Baker in 1955, and they
married on Oct. 5, 1956. The couple moved to Pilot
Rock in 1957 where they started their family. When
Gerald returned to college in 1962, Lorraine worked
at Payless Drug and the EOC registrar’s office. Gerald
was hired to teach by the Pine Eagle School District in
December of 1965, and the family moved to Halfway.
For the next 20 years, Lorraine dedicated her life to
her family, supporting them in all their endeavors and
annually raising a huge garden and preserving food.
The family enjoyed countless days outdoors, camping,
snowmobiling, fishing and hunting.
In the summer of 1976, a teaching position for Gerald
moved the family to Joseph and Lorraine to the life of
work outside her home once again. She began “in the
potato shed” but soon moved on to employment more
suited to her abilities as one of two employees of the
newly opened Pioneer Federal Savings and Loan in
Enterprise. As the bank grew, she moved from teller to
loan officer, helping many locals finance their homes and
befriending most of her customers. Over the years that
institution, currently Umpqua Bank, became Pioneer
Bank and then Sterling before Lorraine retired in 1994.
Thereafter, Lorraine and Gerald enjoyed a happy and
fulfilling life traveling extensively across North America,
remaining active in the community and attending every
sporting event and activity in which their grandchildren
participated that they possibly could. They continued
to attend every JV and varsity basketball game of the
Enterprise teams for the next 20 years, and Lorraine
continued this even after Gerald’s death in the spring of
2021.
Lorraine lived a life of joyful service. A member of
the Eastern Star for over 50 years, she served in various
state offices and committees and was an avid supporter
of the local Rainbow, Masons and Shriners. She was
also a member of Beta Sigma Phi and the Enterprise
Community Church. Through all these organizations
and on her own, Lorraine volunteered countless hours
toward a multitude of local service projects.
Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband,
Gerald, and her twin brother, Larry Christman. Survivors
include her sons, Michael (Tammy) of Enterprise and
Darryl (Tammy) of Cocolalla; grandchildren, Michael
“Bo” (Catherine) Crawford of Las Vegas, Kyle (Kate)
Crawford of Enterprise, Chelsey (Jed) of Tacoma,
and Brandi (Joey) Kent of Post Falls; and eight great-
grandchildren.
Graveside services for Lorraine will be held at Prairie
Creek Cemetery at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 21, followed
by a gathering with light refreshments for close friends
and family at the Enterprise Community Church. In lieu
of flowers please make a contribution to the Wallowa
County Healthcare Foundation.
