Born in 1950 to Glenn and Marie Fessenden in Wolf Point Montana; Claudia was the 3rd of 5 children. The family later moved to Ozark, Mo. where she graduated from high school in 1968. She Married Paul Snyder, "the boy next door" in June of 1969.
Claudia considered her four children her greatest contribution to this world, Abigail Lacy (Charles) Rebecca Brewer (Danny) Rena Rhine (Daniel) and Alan Snyder (Magdalena). These children gave her 10 beautiful grandchildren: Madelyne, Ian, Daniel, Emily, Dana, Aidan, Sierra, Lily, Isabella and Elena.
Over the years she worked as a secretary and bookkeeper, as well as serving many area churches in roles that usually involved music or children, including Pianist, Song Leader, Sunday School teacher, and VBS volunteer. She was a dedicated family educator, homemaker, accomplished seamstress, award winning quilt maker, and avid crafter. She enjoyed many trips with her family across the United States exploring history and the outdoors, and a once in a lifetime trip to the Holy Land in 1997.
