Claudette Bennett

Claudette Bennett of Greenville, South Carolina, peacefully passed away on March 11, 2026. She was reunited with her cherished husband, John Lloyd Bennett, Sr., whom she had dearly missed since his passing in 1992.

A graduate of Reading High School, Claudette went on to have a long and fulfilling career with Western Electric, which later became Lucent Technologies and AT&T.
