Claudia Pack Obituary
Claudia Jean Pack, 69, died Sept. 20, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born Sept. 1, 1943, in Washington D.C., to B. James and June Ackerlund Sabodski. She married John Craig Pack. He preceded her in death.
Claudia understood the value of selfless sacrifice in the value of service to others despite incredible health challenges since childhood. Her happiness was derived from volunteering to help family, members of her church, fellow bowlers, children, grandchildren and neighbors. As an Ambassador of good will, her devotion to teaching, mentoring and inspiring others elevated all members of the Catholic faith who knew her. Most certainly, these acts are deserving of the rank, "Guardian Angel" of the highest order.
Survived by her son; Chris, four brothers; Jim, Freddy, Chuck and David. Also one sister, Joy and six grandchildren; Jessica, Brittany, Bryan, Courtney, Brennen and Jacob.

I feel so blessed to have had the privilege of knowing such a special person. Our times bowling and traveling were special times for me. It was great to feel her spiritual love for her faith and her love for all of us. I will miss her but I also know that she is where she needs to be. To know that she has no more pain and can walk straight and tall once again. Love you so much.

Thank You for letting me get to know you. You were a truly amazing woman. We will miss your sweet smile and those kisses we got. You had a lot of love to give, and gave it selflessly to those around you. You left us all with a better view of others and the world. We love you.

Dear Jim, Chuck, Freddy, David and Joy,
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your sister, Claudia. I have many fond memories of her throughout the years. I am certain your mother, June, has a lane reserved and no other team of angels can beat them. May the peace of the Lord comfort all of the Sabodski family in this time of sorrow.
Respectfully,

Ms. Claudia, so many things I want to say I don't know where to begin. So let me start off by saying I'm Sorry, Thank You and I'll miss you deeply. "I'm Sorry" I never made it to your house, we never finished our puzzles, I stopped going to First Fridays & I missed your calls. "Thank You" for the beautiful friendship we shared, for your laughter, your wisdom, your compassion, your generosity, for the memory we shared watching Lionel Richie's country special :), Undercover Boss and for sharing First Friday's at OLOL. Thank you for being a true disciple of the Lord. You touched my heart and you will always be a part of my life. I'm going to miss YOU. I know you're hugging your precious mom, having coffee with the Lord, laughing & ready to do whatever He has planned for you now. I love you, Ms. Claudia. RIP

My dear Aunt Claudia...for the past few years, i have gotten to know you so much better, I witnessed first hand on how loving and selfless you were, when i was seriously ill and in the hospital, you took the time to come up to visit me and administer holy communion for me, gave me words of wisdom and strength of love and charity..for this i am so grateful for...you amazed me with the strength you showed me while bowling together, you were in pain, but you continued to bowl through your hardest times. You are an inspiration to what people should be...you will be dearly missed and loved always...thank you so much for being a light in one of my darkest moments...love always Tori.

Claudia you know this is hard for me to do this but, you are my sister my only sister, who I will miss especially on Sundays w/ THE MUDD .and our special time together. Even if I didn't show it I was happy that you went to Cedar City this year. Even though it took us awhile to get closer that sister's do, we just had to make sure the time was right. Your LOVE for bowling, and everything that you do and did at all the Catholic churches in AZ. CO., CA., UT., you will be greatly missed. And yes GOD's going to have you doing some kind of different work that you've never done before. We the Olsen family, Sabodski family, and the Pack family will miss you sssssoooooo much. Luv you sis.u
