Claudia was born in Rockford, IL on September 17, 1945, graduated from Hillcrest High School in Dallas, and attended Cornell College. She married Mike Symons in 1969 and was a devoted wife and stay-at-home mom to her three children, Katie, Michael and Jennie, and later a grandma to Annie and Michael Bush.
Extraordinarily creative, Claudia’s eye for detail was evident across every home she lived in, every craft project she tackled, and every thoughtful gift she gave. She loved puppies, sweets, reading, and taking care of everyone around her.
She is survived by her husband Mike Symons, three children, Katie Bush, Michael Symons, and Jennie Berger, her sister, Gretchen Nonnenberg, brothers Frank Carter and Tom Carter, along with two grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, Mary Anne Carter and Frank Carter, Sr.
Memorial services will be held at 11 am on Sunday, May 15th at Sparkman Richardson Funeral Home.
