Claudia's faith and her love for others was evident in her day to day life. During her many years as a kindergarten teacher, she touched many lives. She not only shared love with the children in her classroom daily, but even delivered presents to their families during Christmas.
Her friend group is another example of her love for others and their love for her. Most of her friends were long-term friends, some going all the way back to childhood. That's not to say those were her only friends, because her sweet and loving demeanor led her to make friends wherever she went.
Finally, besides her Lord, her family was what she held most dear. Her love for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchild was never in doubt. She was the best mother, grandmother, and great grandmother anyone could ask for. She will be dearly missed.
Claudia is survived by her son David Van Ingen; her daughter Lisa Van Ingen Pope; and her daughter Rebecca McLain; her grandchild Caleb Van Ingen, her grandchild Sharayah Van Ingen, her grandchild Peyton Pope, her grandchild Penny Pope, her grandchild Kelsey Pope, her grandchild Kallen Pope and her great grandchild Lyla Van Ingen.
