Claudette Scepaniak Obituary

Claudette Y. Scepaniak, 89-year-old resident of Little Falls, MN passed away Friday, October 13, 2023 at St. Otto's Care Center in Little Falls, MN.

Claudette was born on October 5, 1934, to the late Frank and Cecilia (Maciej) Scepaniak. Claudette grew up on the Scepaniak family farm, southeast of Swanville, MN. She attended Country School District #52 and graduated from St. Francis High School in Little Falls. Claudette attended St. Cloud Vocational School for commercial cooking. She cooked at the hospital in Little Falls and also at the VFW. Claudette shared her cooking talents with family and friends. She was also a home health aide for 10 years and was enjoyed by all those she cared for. Claudette "Claudy" was a "babysitter" for many children. She lovingly cared for Kristyna and Allison Zak for several years and that developed into a lifelong friendship with the Zak family. Claudy was an only child and dearly loved by her parents. She was a blessing to her parents, helping on the farm and caring for them in their elderly years. Claudy was a devout Christian and a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church. She enjoyed attending mass there and also at the St. Otto's Chapel.

Left to treasure her memory are cousins of the Scepaniak and Maciej families and also her dear friends, along with her caregivers at St. Otto's and the CHI Hospice Program.

Claudette was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and several cousins.

Claudy spread love and positivity to everyone she met. She found peace and joy in the "simple" things in life. She touched many lives with her joyfulness and steadfast faith in God. "Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and always dear." Heaven has a new beautiful angel!
