Heaven gained a new resident on Saturday, Aug. 30, when Claudia Louise Scott passed away peacefully at 7:52 a.m.
Claudia was born Oct. 15, 1947, in Berkeley, California. She resided in the Bay Area with her husband, Steven C. Scott, until 1982, when they moved to Evanston with their three daughters Carrie, Connie and Cindy.
Claudia was a stay-at-home mom, or “Domestic Goddess,” as she would refer to herself but maintained her California cosmetology license, which she earned prior to having children.
She was an avid reader and loved to shop, always finding the best deals around. Her motto: “If it’s not on sale, it’s probably not worth buying it.” Even though she was frugal, she was a very generous and giving individual.
Claudia was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Grace Weeks; and Steven C. Scott, her husband of 56 years.
She is survived by her three daughters, Carrie Wood (Brian), Constance Scott and Cindy Henderson (Jeff); as well as nine amazing grandchildren: Zachary Henderson, Alex Nicole Henderson, Erin Beth Henderson, Grace Wood, Haven Wood, Josias Wood, Immanuel Wood, Louise Wood and Katriel Wood; her sister, Sue Garcia; and niece, Ann Cooper.
While our hearts are broken because she is no longer with us on this earth, we know she is celebrating in heaven with our father, Steve, her parents and loved ones gone before her. We mourn the loss of an amazing mother, wife, daughter, and friend; yet, we rejoice that she is in the hands of God! Gone but never forgotten!
