Claudia Altemus Obituary
Concord, NH - 10/7/1956 – 9/30/2025 age 68
Claudia had a way of turning all she met into friends and family. Her work in environmental education, teaching art, baking, floral arranging, storytelling and music, or simply as a neighbor, all led to communities of people who supported her and each other. Most of these communities overlapped, creating happy cross-pollinations and – more community :)
She is survived by her her husband Steve, two sons Abram and Eli and 5 siblings: Rebecca, Jon, Jeff, Thom and Brooks.
There will be a memorial gathering on Wednesday, October 22nd at 5:30 pm at the Brothers Cortado Coffee House in Concord, NH for all who wish to attend.
There will also be a drop-in hours from 1:00 – 5:00pm at the family home at 6 Hutchinson Ave. Concord, NH 03301 also on October 22nd. Due to limited space, please park on West or Downing streets.
In Lieu of flowers, Please make a donation to the Friendly Kitchen in Concord, NH or to New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR).
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My deepest condolences to Steve, sons and Claudia's family. Sending my prayers and support. Claudia was a delightful, loving, and positive woman always giving her best to others. It's been decades since I've seen any of the family but I'm guessing she has been true to herself and will leave a large void. With love.

Claudia was an amazing person, who became my friend in the last 6 or so years. Even though it was a short while, I felt a strong connection to her and her philosophies. She visited me at the Concord Farmers markets whenever she could. In 2024 she shared her raspberry plants with me. I now call it my Claudia garden, and it sits just outside my door, where I pass it by numerous times daily, and will forever think of my dear friend when I look at it.
My sincere condolences go to her family, especially Steve, Abram and Eli. RIP Claudia

Claudia was always my first customer at the Concord Market. She faithfully purchased one big milk and one small milk ane one plain yogurt. She continued as a csa customer long afterwards. She was always cheerful and chatty and I so looked forward to starting the day with her. Happy to have had a long conversation with her this past summer!
May God bless her and her family as they grieve for her. Matty Huckins
