Claudia grew up in Childress and attended school through high school here and graduated in 1958. In 1959, she met Clarence Brandon (Weldon as he was known then) on a blind date. Clarence drove 40 miles in a dust storm with nearly zero visibility to go on the date. They got married 6 months later and were married for 55 years before Clarence passed away.

Preceded in death by her husband, Clarence W. Brandon (Pete); her father, Claude Stone; her mother, Ida Mae Stone; and her step mother, Naomi Stone.

Claudia is survived by her son, Brice Brandon; daughter, Delana Brandon, and a sister in law, Donna Cannon.

According to her children, she was a great mom, volunteering at their school when they were young and managing Cub Scout and Brownie memberships and little league baseball activities.
