Born on November 11, 1959, in Kitzingen, Germany, to Ed and Irene Kosark, she married Dennis Kramer in Lincoln, NE, on November 17,1979.

Since moving to Tupelo, she was employed at North Mississippi Medical Center as a data analyst and was a member of St. James Catholic Church.

Always a devoted wife, loving mother, and genuine friend to many, Claudia is survived by her parents, her husband Dennis, and four children: Kyle (Keri), Andrew (Cathy), Brian, and Laura. She is also survived by her siblings Sandy Hayward, Scott Kosark, and David Kosark, all of Nebraska.

Visitation will be Thursday, January 24, with Rosary at 5 p.m. and visitation following until 8 p.m. at Forrest Funeral Home in Hattiesburg. A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 25, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Hattiesburg.

Dennis, Many years ago we were blessed with having you and Claudia assigned to us as our Marriage Prep sponsors. We learned much but what we have held closest to our hearts throughout these 24 years is the living example of the life you lived together as that of a loving couple and devoted parents. Every one of us who knew Claudia were truly blessed to have had her enter our lives. Our hearts were saddened to hear of Claudia's passing; please know that you and the kids will remain in our prayers. We are also praying that Jesus' abounding love will give all of you comfort and peace always. In Christ, Steve, Angela, Brandon and Kaleigh Cohen

Many thoughts and prayers going to the Kramer and Kosark families. Claudia was always one of the nicest baseball mothers, always smiling, and one of the best and sweetest families I knew. Many good memories of my son Brett and Kyle (I think) playing on Malone Brothers. I was also privileged to teach precious Laura at a young age. Good bless and comfort you all!
