She worked as an accountant at ABS for 20 years; she was a nursing assistant at Carington & Willows in Sun Prairie and worked at Pick N Save and at Schulzs in the deli; she then retired in 1999.

Claudia was an avid Wisconsin sports fan; she loved the Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers. She loved her grandchildren and enjoyed spoiling them every chance she got. Other hobbies included fishing, bowling, bingo, cooking, gardening, and collecting salt and pepper shakers.
She was a very social and caring people person, and she will be missed by many.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Agrace Hospice, the staff at St. Mary's and to Dr. Utrie at Dean Clinic for their exceptional care.
