Claudia Mae Stephens

Claudia Mae Stephens, 65, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2023, at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah. She was surrounded by her loving children. Claudia faced health complications resulting from Gastric Bypass Surgery in 2008, which led to the formation of scar tissue and an inoperable digestive system, making it difficult for her body to receive nutrients

Claudia is survived by her five biological children: Tangi (Bryan) Perry, Toni (Dave) Gilbert, Jonathan Charles(Danielle) Richards, Austin Earl Migliori, and Ashley Rae (Zack) White. She is also survived by her three stepchildren: Carl Lynn (LaNae) Richards, Teresa Carter, Jeffrey Glenn (Kristi) Richards. Claudia was also lucky to help raise her niece: Monteria (Terry) Rusby, kids Samuel and Ella. Additionally, Claudia leaves behind twelve cherished grandchildren: Shakell, Ashlyn, Seth, Kanyon, Kennedy, Aiden (Nicole), Addison, Hannah, Zane, Maddilynn, Stetson, and Chloe Mae. Two older sisters Linda (Craig) Chambers, Betty (Ed) Mullaney, and her little brother Raymond (Sandy) Clark.

Claudia was predeceased by her parents Samuel Ashley Clark Sr. and Joyce Carolyn Clark, as well as her three brothers Lamar, Samuel Junior, and Tommy Jo.

Described as a very outgoing individual, Claudia loved spending time with friends and neighbors. She was known as "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" by some of her close friends. Claudia's greatest accomplishment in life was her children, whom she loved unconditionally. Spending time with her family and friends meant the world to her. She had a passion for dancing, reading, writing, and sewing, and she was a purple belt in karate. Claudia had a deep connection with God and found solace in reading the scriptures, which provided her strength during difficult times.

She followed Jeffrey R Holland of the Twelve Apostles on Facebook because his messages resonated with her. Her favorite quote from him was. DON'T YOU QUIT. You keep walking, you keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come. Mom, we love you, and we will keep walking until we meet again.
