She also had a number of canine and feline friends though out her life, perhaps most beloved of all was her cat, Zenski. She loved performing and listening to all varieties of music. She was proficient on the piano, guitar and, more recently, the ukulele. Claudia was a voracious reader. In recent years, she spent a great deal of time with her many Bibles, leaving countless post-it notes to mark special passages. She was baptized into the faith in her youth at First Baptist Church of Greencastle.

She is survived by her father, her brother, Alan (Janice) Clark of North Vernon, step-nieces Amanda (Topher) Morris and Candace (Peter) Gaunt of Indianapolis, step-great nieces and nephews, Mary Cate and Cohen Morris and Evelyn and Oliver Gaunt, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.
