Claudia Jo (67) died suddenly on June 27, 2020 and will be greatly missed by many. She was born in Oklahoma City to Wanda Jo and John Roebuck. Wanda later married Hugh Holly who became like a father to Claudia. Claudia is survived by her older brother, Gary Roebuck and his wife Becky, and her brother, Chris Holly. Claudia also had a sister, Robin Holly, who passed on in childhood. Claudia also has five nieces.
Gary (Claudia's brother) and his wife Becky love her and know she is in heaven surrounded by all her loved ones who have gone on before her.
Claudia and Chris (her brother), during the last 5 years or so, had become very close. They would go out to eat and have family gatherings together. Chris feels incredibly grateful he had this wonderful relationship with his sister.
Claudia has been a devoted and caring employee for over 45 years at Arnold Oil Company. She not only worked for Claude and Blake Arnold, she cared for their children throughout the years when needed. They loved her like family. She was invited to many of their important family gatherings. Claudia is dearly loved by all the employees at Arnold Oil Company.
Ann Finley and Pam Gibbons are 2 friends close to Claudia who she has known and loved since childhood. Claudia spent most holidays with Ann and her family and was like a daughter to Ann's mother, Patricia. To Ann, Claudia is her sister, and Ann's children think of Claudia as their Aunt and love her dearly. Ann spoke to Claudia almost every day and will miss her greatly....and will be thinking of her with love and gratitude for their special friendship over the years, until we meet again on the other side.
Pam and Claudia reminisced many times over the years about how, when they were little children, they used to have water balloon babies they would push in the stroller all over the neighborhood. They would laugh and talk about this when they got together. Pam was a dear friend all throughout Claudia's life and was always there for her when needed.
Claudia loved her little dog, Clarence (named after the angel from the movie "It's A Wonderful Life") as if he were her own child and also had a deep love for all animals. At times she would take strays in. Animals of every kind had a special place in her heart. We feel very blessed because Shauna, from Claudia's work, is taking her precious dog, Clarence.
Claudia was a loving and caring person for all those around her; she brought happiness and sunshine wherever she went, and her laugh was infectious. Claudia was a very generous soul. When there was a person (who was doing a paid service) for Claudia, she would always pay more than what was asked, many times much more. Claudia loved the Lord with all her heart and cared for all. She seemed to know that this life was just a quick space of time she was passing through and if she was met with an option, she always chose kindness. We, her loved ones, know without any doubt she was met with a great reunion of loved ones on the other side.
