Claudine was a lifelong resident of Adair County, a care giver working as a Registered Nurse at numerous hospitals in both Kirksville and Columbia. In 1979 she was asked to take on the major responsibility of establishing the Adair County Health Department, then shepherding the operation and caring for citizens of Adair County for the next 31 years, retiring in 2010. During that time in order keep her nursing skills up to date she would also frequently work two 12-hour shifts on the weekends at University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia, Missouri.

As she lived her life, she never wanted any credit, sympathy, or public acknowledgement for her many achievements. Though she is dearly missed, the family will honor her wishes by not having a funeral. There are many worthy charities that you may contribute to in her name if you wish. However, she would likely ask everyone to just take care of their family and friends and help those in need as she strived to do.
