Claudia worked at the grocery store in Rock Lake for several years and was a substitute mail carrier for 28 years between Rock Lake and Munich. She retired as a mail carrier in 2008. Claudia also worked at Munich Meat Market & the Rock Lake Café during that time. She loved her crafts. Claudia tried everything that came out from wood to porcelain. She enjoyed snowmobiling, playing cards, reading and having family around. Claudia was the clerk for Virginia Township for 20 years. She also was a Cub Scout leader for many years.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember all the times Claudia, Clarabel, Dianne, Jan, Wayne, & spouses got together. Those were the good times! Can't forget Dallas, also! There was always a lot of fun and laughter. May God give you his comfort and strength at this difficult time.

Claudia's Family...Our sincere sympathy at this most difficult time. We have many different emotions when we bury our elderly parents. We suddenly are the older generation and we are not always prepared for that...Many memories of her be with you today and always.

I extend my deepest sympathy to the entire family during this sad time in your lives. Gordon and Ruth Forseth (my parents) farmed close to the Gebur farm, and I spent time at the Gebur farm, as Diane and I were good friends. May you be comforted with God's promise that we will be reunited with our loved ones someday, in the peace and joy of heaven. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm so sorry to hear about Claudia's passing. My prayers are with the family. I recall the fun I had when we would go over to their farm and we, the kids, would play and have all sorts of fun. It was fond memories and ones I will always remember.
