Claudia Marie Cole

Claudia Marie Cole 12/1/1944 -

It's hard to write an obituary about Claudia without using swear words, because that's who she was. Unfiltered, raw, unique, and truly one of a kind. She had lived many places in her 81 years on earth, but she found a home in Udall, KS and became loved by a small town for being who she was. She would give you the shirt off of her back but remind you about it every time she saw you, without ever asking for anything in return. Her family came first, well, after a cold Milwaukee's Best and a cigarette. She was here for a long time and very much a good time. You never knew what was going to come out of her mouth but it was almost always followed with laughter. That's the life she chose to live; care free, fun, loving, outspoken. A wild child through and through. She now gets to reunite with so many lost loved ones and give them her light and laughter. She was the matriarch, she was the humor, she was the humbler, she was the strength, she was the love, and now she will be the memory. A life full of stories to be shared with friends, families, and loved ones.

Claudia is survived by her daughters, Shelia Herman, Barbara Conway, Cynthia Newman and Donna Marsolf; grandchildren, Dustin Moss, Timothy and Mika Moss, Summer Herman, Rosa Rodarte, Casandra Rodarte, Jose Rodarte, Joseph Keith, Joshua Keith, Christina Herman, Cody Newman, Jonathan Berry and great-grandchildren, Carson Moss, Kaylee Moss, Ezekeil Duran, Meilani Dudran, Adeline Moss and Ares Hernanez. Her mother, Philomena Whitman and grandson, Tanner Burtin preceded her in death.
