Claudia was a devoted wife, mother, grammie, sister and aunt. Claudia’s family meant more to her than anything. Claudia is remembered as the one that was always playing with the kids. All of the kids remember her for her homemade play dough, crafts and playing games with them. Her early years were spent working as a legal secretary for her brother-in-laws law practice. She worked during the day and ran the kids around to practices and games in the evening. Claudia rarely missed a game or an event. Brooke and Ronald’s friends all referred to her as their “second mom”. Claudia spent almost all of her free time with the kids and their friends running them around in the big yellow car and was considered the “cool mom”.
Claudia was a self-taught jack of all trades. As her kids got older Claudia transitioned into the Medical Billing field. Claudia was self-educated and well known for her ability to research problems and ability to teach others how to do their job better. Claudia eventually opened her own successful Medical Billing Office.
Claudia’s kind spirit, spunkiness and fun personality will be missed by those that love her. Her legacy of love for others and ability to see the sunshine through the rain will be carried out by her kids and grandkids.
