Claudia was born June 24th, 1962, in Houston, Texas, to Claudio and Alicia Garcia. Claudia was a Houstonian graduating from Lamar High School. She worked for Tichenor Media System at KLAT AM and KLTN FM for over thirteen years from 1981 to 1994, where she met, fell in love with, and married her husband, Gary Stone. Claudia played a pivotal role in Gary's career, supporting his work and entertaining clients and friends with joy. Claudia held all her family so near and dear to her heart, loving them with all that she was. Always caring for everyone, Claudia was a truly giving person, more concerned with others than with herself.
