A Celebration of Life will be held in July 2018, at the Paul & Marian Thies Family Property in Scotts Valley, Yoncalla, Oregon, for Claudia Carol Bowman Hutto. She died unexpectedly after a brief battle with a lung infection. She was 74.
She was born to Marian (Clark) and Milton (Mick) Bowman in Tacoma, WA on July 31, 1943. The family lived in Suplee, Oregon for a time and later moved in to a small house on what is now called G & C Farms on Scotts Valley Road in Yoncalla, Oregon. She graduated from Yoncalla High School in 1961.
Claudia was a homemaker until her children reached school age, then she went to work as Librarian for Yoncalla High School. She eventually transferred districts to Sutherlin High School as the Front Office Secretary where she worked until she was transferred to West Elementary School shortly before retiring.
Claudia enjoyed drawing, painting, sewing and quilting. She loved to bird watch which she did from the front porch and while traveling to the various outdoor concerts and music venues she enjoyed going to with George. She looked forward to going to the opera, especially on New Year’s Eve and musicals throughout the year. She always had a good time entertaining friends and family, canning and cooking. She didn’t even mind sharing the kitchen or cooking together as long as anyone helping didn’t mind answering when asked if you had added enough salt!
Survivors in addition to her husband George Hutto include her son, Jim Thies, his wife Lori, of Coquille; her daughter, Shannon Grove, and partner, Paul Kodros, of Dallas, TX; step-daughters Cindy Thies of Springfield, Oregon; Cheryl (Thies) Kearns and husband, Kevin, of Cottage Grove, Oregon; Allison Kane of Burnaby, BC; Stephanie (Hutto) Peterson and husband Adam of Bend, Oregon; Emma (Hutto) Malkin and husband Eytan of Vancouver BC; and her brother, Kenneth Bowman Bonnie (Shirley), of Kent, Washington. Claudia also had 10 cherished grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents Milton and Marian; her step-father, Paul; a brother, Gary; a daughter-in-law, Becky and several aunts and uncles.
“Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile & who love you no matter what.” (Author Unknown)
