Claudia Richey Nicholas, born on July 20, 1933, passed away peacefully on August 29, 2024, at the age of 91. Claudia was a woman of many talents and deep love for her family. She had a passion for crocheting, often creating beautiful pieces for those she loved. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she cherished every moment spent with her family. Claudia was an avid reader, a crossword puzzle enthusiast, and a wonderful cook who loved preparing meals for her family and friends. She also had a special talent for sewing and could often be found on her porch, spending hours in conversation with those she held dear. Claudia had a soft spot for cats and took great joy in spoiling them.

She was a beloved grandmother to 15 grandchildren, a great-grandmother to 24 great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandmother to 2 great-great-grandchildren.
