Claudia, I have such fond memories of you from growing up.  You always brightened every room you entered, and I remember that well from family parties and holidays together.  You always carried so much warmth, love and empathy for everyone around you.  You had such an infectious laugh and smile and people just wanted to be around you. You cared so much for your students, and your memory will live on in them. You cared so much for your family - Rudy and Ben, most importantly, - and your memory will live on in us and we will strive to serve people as you did and to spread love and kindness as you did.  Here is a photo from a Christmas dinner from 2005.  You and Rudy, and with Uncle Sam behind you.  You will be so missed.  I am sending my condolences as well as Rudy and Ben.  I love you all.    

My sincerest condolences to Rudy Zavala and Benjamin Zavala on the passing of your wife and mother. I will never forget Claudia’s beautiful smile and her vibrant personality. It was always “Hi, girlfriend!” She always lit up the room when she entered. I remember when she told me she wanted me to be her son’s fourth grade teacher and he was still in kindergarten. The years flew quickly! And she was taken much too soon!  She will forever be in my  heart and memory. Rest In Peace, Girl Friend.❤️✝️

My heart is heavy knowing that we lost such an amazing person.  Mrs. Zavala was a beautiful person inside and out.  Just talking to her made me feel so at ease.  One of our last conversations was how we need to take care of ourselves physically, mentally and in spirit because life is too short.  She impacted so many and Heaven is lucky to have gained an angel. Rest In Peace, my friend! 🙏🏻 🥰

Mrs. Zavala was such a kindhearted, beautiful soul. If I or anyone else needed help or support she was there without a second thought. I will never forget her beautiful smile, and she will always hold a special place in my heart. She has helped brighten so many of her students lives, and we are forever grateful. My condolences and prayers to the family. Thank you Mrs. Zavala, for everything. 

My condolences go to her whole family. You made school such an enjoyable place. I’m at a loss for words. Thank you for everything. You’ll always have a place in my heart.❤️

Special Lady who made a big  difference in the lives of children. My condolences to Mr. Zavala and his son Ben.  

To Ben and Mr. Zavala my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Beautiful MOTHER and Wife Mrs Zavala. There are no words in times like these only to thank you Mrs.Zavala for your dedication and guidance to my granddaughter Chenille and all the lifes you impacted during your Counseling years at Glen Cove . Your beautiful caring way touched so many myself included. Please know that you will be missed by so many and I pray for Ben and Mr.Zavala in this very difficult time during such a  tremendous loss. I know that you are in Heaven even though we will miss you but God welcomed you with open arms and you will live forever in the hearts of your family and all the children and parents you guided and helped thru out the years. God Bless you Mrs.Zavala from Martha Jaquez and thank you for all you did for my granddaughter.   

Words cannot describe the loss and pain Ben, and Mr. Zavala are experiencing at this very moment. Mrs Zavala was an educator, and one of the greatest human beings I ever had the privilege of knowing. I am forever grateful for the generosity and love Mrs. Zavala showed my eldest child Chenille and the many students whom she influenced over the years at Glen Cove elementary school. Mrs Zavala will be forever missed in the community by the many lives she assisted over the years to include her family and friends. Again I am deeply saddened by the news of Mrs. Zavala's passing. Myself, Eddie Sida, her former student Chenille and family send our deepest prayers and condolences. Please if you need anything please let us know. Again thank you Mrs. Zavala for always mentoring my daughter and for all your help over the years. Heaven sure gained a special angel. 

Ben and Rudy-
So sorry to hear about Claudia passing.  She is at rest now. 
Sandy Hand
