Claudia McClain, born on May 13, 1969, in Chicago, IL, passed away peacefully on February 3, 2025, in her beloved city. Claudia, affectionately known as "Momma," was a dedicated travel nurse who retired just in time to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

A vibrant soul, Claudia was known for her towering height of 6'1", a unique characteristic that brought humor to her family, especially as her daughter stood at just 5'4". She had a zest for life, filling her home with loud music, particularly the sounds of Future and R. Kelly, as she danced around with joy. Claudia cherished the time spent with her 13 grandbabies, creating lasting memories and capturing candid moments of her youngest with her camera.

Claudia had a passion for deep dish pizza and seafood, often treating her loved ones to her favorite dishes. Her love for basketball was matched only by her fondness for the TV show "Martin," which brought laughter into her home. She traveled to ten countries, with Canada holding a special place in her heart as her favorite destination.

Above all, Claudia embodied positivity, believing that "positivity is key if you want to go far in life." Her legacy of love and laughter will be remembered by her four children and their families, who were blessed to call her Momma. Claudia’s spirit will continue to inspire those who knew her, reminding them of the importance of family and the joy of living life to the fullest.
