Mrs. Claburn worked at U-totem on Spring Ave. for many years after her oldest son passed away. She was a homemaker and caregiver to all who needed her. Children and elders, family and friends, neighbors and strangers all received her care without question or protest. She was an angel and a humble servant whose greatest desires were to please her Lord and love all whose life she touched. She always had a smile for everyone even through her trials. She was a volunteer at Decatur General Hospital for several years and was the oldest volunteer in the program at that time.

The family would like to thank Hospice of the Valley for the loving care given to our mother and grandmother.
