On December 30, 1940, Walter and Rose Bush welcomed their only child, Claudia into the world. Several years later, she married her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Joseph Zatlokowicz. Together they had two children: Mark (Leigh Anne) Zatlokowicz and Deanna Zatlokowicz; four grandchildren: Alyssa Steinmueller, Jonathan Steinmueller, Kristal Cole and Tiffanie Cole; and three great grandchildren; Marcus Cole, Madeline Cole and Andrew Cole. Claudia is also survived by her brother in law, James (Elizabeth) Zatlokowicz.
As matriarch of the family, Claudia exemplified strength, compassion, wisdom and grace, as well as complete devotion to her family and friends. She was an avid golfer (who got a hole-in-one), artist, Opera enthusiast, Classic Movie buff, and loved playing cards with family and friends. Always a hard worker, she retired from MECCA Engineering as an office manager.
Claudia was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Rose Bush, in laws Joseph and Mary Zatlokowicz and Brother in law, Robert Zatlokowicz.
Friends are invited to visit with the family on Saturday, December 1, from 10:00AM to 11:00AM at Kuiper Funeral Home, 9039 Kleinman Road, Highland IN, with a Celebration of Life at 11:00AM.
