Born on November 10, 1953, in Richfield, Utah to Norma Jean Stocks and James Millard Wood. She married Dean Stauffer Parker On March 12, 1972. They remained married for 52 years until her passing. Claudia lived a life full of love, kindness, and selflessness.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Dean, her two beloved children, Amber and Matt, her daughter-in-law, Annie, and her two grandchildren, Asher and Logan, whom she adored with all her heart. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her grandchildren, creating memories that will be treasured forever.
Claudia, a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was known for her warmth and generosity, always putting others before herself. She had a natural gift for bringing people together, hosting family get-togethers that were filled with laughter, love, and delicious food. Her honesty and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love and memories she created will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
