Carol Lee Claude passed away peacefully on May 6, 2026, at the age of 69.
Carol was born on Nov. 27, 1956, in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, to Joe and Shirley Claude. She spent her life surrounded by family, caregivers, and friends who loved her deeply and were touched by her unique personality, stubbornness, and strength.
Though Carol faced challenges throughout her life due to special needs, she brought joy, love, and meaning to those around her in countless ways. She enjoyed working at DSI in Siren, crocheting, movies, jigsaw puzzles, square dancing, and outings with her friend Marty Buskirk. She will be remembered for her concern for others.
Carol is survived by her father; sisters, Cindy Eidahl (Bob), Jody Mousel (Alan), and Dianne Larson (Tibor Kiss); brothers, Larry Claude (Sue) and John Claude (Laura); and many nephews, nieces, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her mother; stepmother, Dorothy; and grandparents.
The family would like to express gratitude to the staff and for the hospice services she received at Traditions. Their compassion and care were greatly appreciated. Also, sincere thanks to Donna Grindel for her guidance and support over the years.
