Claudia Harris, born December 20, 1943, in Shelby, Montana, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025, at the age of 81. A woman of warmth, resilience, and boundless love, Claudia lived a life dedicated to her family, her passions, and her community.

Claudia was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Clyde and Katherine Keys, and her devoted husband of over 60 years, Ronald F. Harris. She leaves behind a cherished legacy through her surviving family: her brother, Thomas Keys; her daughters, Tamara Williams and Claudine Kindred; her son, Ronald C. Harris; her granddaughters, Terra Watson, Taylor Richardson, Kirsten Brimmage, and Kennedy Kindred; and several great-grandchildren who brought her immense joy.

Claudia built a successful career in the insurance industry, where her dedication and professionalism touched many lives. She was a proud member of the Order of the Eastern Star for over 50 years, as well as a Girl Scout Leader. Beyond her work, she found joy in life's simple pleasures-traveling with her husband Ronald, knitting cozy blankets, and losing herself in the pages of a good book.

Claudia's warmth, generosity, and unwavering love for her family will be deeply missed but forever remembered. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched and the love she wove into every blanket and moment shared with her loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to either The American Diabetes Association or The American Cancer Society in Claudia's memory.
