Claudia Holoboff Deegan Obituary
Claudia was born on July 19, 1962, in Redwood City, CA, to Fred and Peg Holoboff and she joined the angels in heaven on July 2, 2009. She is survived by her older sisters, Jane Holly and Lisa Hart, her devoted brother-in-law, Steve Hart and her 14-year-old nephew, Royce Holly-Ledwig. Claudia grew up in San Diego and maintained a career in the real estate investment industry for the past two decades. Her loving family and friends will miss her gorgeous smile, her full heart and her true sweetness, more than words can describe. A private memorial is planned at the home of her sister Lisa, on her 47th birthday, July 19, 2009. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~ Kahlil Gibran

I worked with Claudia back in the 90's and considered her a friend - entertained her and Mark at my home more than once. Looking up memories prior to a planned trip to San Diego and see this. So damn, sad to lose anyone at any age! Claudia had a good soul. Damn!

I was saddened to hear about Claudia's passing. I fondly remember our Camp Fire Girl days.
I'm putting together the memory table for an upcoming high school reunion. I'd love some photos and more information to add...

My heart goes out to Jane and Claudia at this difficult time. Claudia was a beautiful person inside and out. How lucky you were to have her for a sister, and she to have you both. Such a sad sad time for all of us who knew her.

Oh Claudia, you will be missed, but not forgotten. We have plenty of good Claudia stories and most end with a good laugh. You had such a great smile and a good heart.
Maybe you were always meant to be someone's guardian angel.

I am so sorry to hear of Claudia's passing. I was a neighbor to her on Dumas Street and knew her while working at Rainwater's restaurant. We did Bikram yoga together. She was such a wonderful person, always nice with a great smile and incredibly generous and giving. We shared some fun times, I will always miss her. Much love to you and your family during this difficult time.
