She was born on July 26, 1970 in Laredo, TX to Jose and Maria Alvarez. She married Martin Olguin on July 17 in 1994. She worked hard to pursue her Education degree at Texas Wesleyan and taught in the Arlington ISD. Claudia's brief career as a Bilingual teacher was fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
Claudia is a wonderful wife and devoted 25 years of her life to making her husband, the best man he could be. She inspired him to make a better life for her and their children. She showered him with love and affection and made him feel like the most important man in the world.
Claudia is a proud mother of daughters, Olivia and Emily, and son, Eric. She raised her children to love unconditionally and to treat each other with kindness and respect. She made it her mission to make sure that she knew they were loved and that they always have what they need. Their happiness was what she wanted most for them and everyone strived to make Mama happy. She was the heart of the family.
Unfortunately health issues prevented her from fulfilling her full life's journey. Those that knew her were blessed by how she touched their lives. The true tragedy is for those that never had the chance to spend a few moments with Claudia and just have a quick hello and chat and feel her friendship and love.
She was preceded in death by son, Martin Xavier, born before his time.
