Claudia cared for others, and was involved in multiple ministries throughout her life, bringing others to know Christ. She shared her gifts freely, involving herself in everything from Sunday School, to Prayer Meetings, to Prison Ministry and Youth and Ladies Auxiliary. She also lived abundantly because she knew how to laugh and make others laugh easily. Claudia lived her life as an example of faith and work. She passed on her love for God to her son Nicholas and was an exemplary mother to the very end. Her beautiful smile will always be remembered by everyone who knew her. Her life is a legacy of love and selflessness.
