Aunt Claudia, by marriage to her nephew, was one of the dearest, sweetest women I have known in my lifetime. She was always so thoughtful, kind and considerate. I knew I could feel free to call her and/or stop by her home for support during my divorce and single parenting days. Although I did not visit Claudia as often as I would have liked, I will truly miss her in my life.

I remember Claudia when I was a page in the circulation department in the 70s..She was so funny. I remember coming to work and going to the Circulation Workroom in stacks and she would be sitting at her desk with her feet up on her typewriter. The typewriter must have been from the 1800s..So sorry to hear of her passing. We used to call her Claude

Claudia and I worked together in the Circulation Department of the Rundel Public Libary in the 70's. I was new to the workforce and Claudia was an excellent role model. I respected her highly and liked her sense of humor. She was a fast and efficient worker and knew how to be tactful with the public and co-workers she helped. Claudia will always have a special place in my heart. I know she's sitting in a high place in heaven bringing joy to those she loves on the other side.

I worked with Claudia 30 years ago when I first started at the Rochester Public Library Circulation Desk. She had a great sense of humor and was fun to work with. It was hard for some of us "young folks" to keep up with her. My DEEPEST SYMPATHY to her family. I know you will miss her very much.
