Claudia attended Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, as did her older brother and sister, Clell & Evelyn.
Claudia was very capable and people-oriented. She worked during much of Maynard's time with the National Park Service.
Maynard and Claudia loved scenic beauty and nature, and thoroughly enjoyed Maynard's career in the NPS, from rain forest to desert! While living near Page, Maynard and Claudia were fascinated by visiting nearby Hopi and Navajo villages with Hopi and Navajo friends they befriended.
Claudia's ashes were spread with Maynard's ashes at Bogachiel Peak in Olympic National Park, where Maynard was a fire lookout during the summers of 1936-1938, when Maynard was courting her. (Olympic NP was established in 1938.) Her ashes were also spread in the Pacific Ocean at a place that is in Olympic NP and in London, England.
