Claudia was born in Bismark, North Dakota, on June 28, 1947 to John and Audienne (Wilson) Coyne.
She enjoyed wonderful times there with her sisters, the snow, and her horses, before eventually moving to Stockton, CA, where she graduated from Stagg High School in 1965.
Claudia finished Beauty College before marrying the love of her life, Craig Davies, in 1967.
Claudia and Craig had three children, Craig Davies Jr., Shay Davies, and Britta (Bert) Schenone.
After spending several years living in southern California, the Davies Clan returned to Stockton, where they owned and operated the Straw Hat Pizza Restaurant in Quail Lakes.
Claudia's life was full, and centered around family, friends, and the business. She worked hard at the restaurant, but really gave so much of herself to entertaining and providing a beautiful and welcoming home for ALL. She was famous for her parties and holiday gatherings.
Claudia loved the ocean, travelling up north to "The Coast", and trips to the snow, but always, life revolved around her love for her family.
Claudia leaves behind, her husband of 54 years, Craig Davies, her three children, Craig Jr., Shay Davies, and Britta (Bert) Schenone, all of Stockton. She also leaves four grandchildren who were such an incredible part of her life. Quinn and Franchesca Davies, and Harlow and Sloane Schenone. Also left behind are several nieces and nephews. Finally, she is survived by her loving sisters, Kathy (Chuck) Ryan, and Jane Vochatzer.
We are all losing such a warm and loving Soul, and really, the center and anchor of our family life. We love her and miss her very much!
