Adaline Claus Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ruck Towson Funeral Home, Inc. on Oct. 5, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Adaline Jade Claus passed away peacefully in the arms of her loving parents on October 1, 2025, at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Born with complete common atrioventricular canal (CAVC), Adaline bravely fought during her brief time with us and went to Heaven at just 18 days old.

Adaline was born on September 13, 2025, to Joshua Claus and Napaporn "Beam" Aupanan Claus, joining her big brother, Adam. Though her life was short, Adaline brought immeasurable love, light, and joy to those around her. She especially enjoyed reading books, listening to music, cuddling her soft toys, and being held close by her family.

Adaline will be forever cherished and remembered by her parents, Joshua and Beam; her brother, Adam; her paternal grandparents, Stephanie Claus, Jacob Smith, and Bruce Claus; her maternal grandparents, Somboon Aupanan, Saengphian Aupanan, Saengla Prammachai, and Authai Prammachai. She is also lovingly remembered by her many aunts, uncles, and cousins: Ping Ping, Ting Ting, Olivia, Emilia, Logan, Thomas, Lucas, and Scarlett.

Though her time on Earth was brief, Adaline's presence will be felt forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

Funeral Services will be held at Ruck Towson Funeral Home on Saturday, October 11, 2025. There will be visitation from 11:00-12:00, followed by services at 12:00. Interment to follow at Moreland Memorial Park Cemetery.
