Obituary for Claudia Lynnette Poole (Ruggles)

Claudia Lynnette  Poole (Ruggles)
Claudia Lynnette Poole, age 79, of Ocosta, Wash., passed away peacefully on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2015, at Grays Harbor Community Hospital. Claudia was born on Sept. 18, 1936 in Seattle, Wash. to Floyd and Maude (Bowman) Ruggles. She lived in Hobart, Wash. until she was three years old. The family moved to Ocosta where she was raised with her three siblings. She attended high school at Ocosta through the 10th grade. However, she earned her GED in 1985.
On July 23, 1952, Claudia married Stanley Poole in Garberville, Calif. and they celebrated their 63rd anniversary this year. Throughout most of her life, she was a homemaker, but did work in the canneries on the South Beach for years.
Claudia was a member of the VFW Auxiliary #3057 in Westport and the Eagles Auxiliary in Aberdeen. She collected numerous trivets which fills a wall in the kitchen of the family home and also loved her angel figurines. Her favorite collection was Winnie the Pooh. This collection took over most of the back bedroom and always made her smile and happy. She enjoyed frequenting casinos and playing Bingo and Keno. Mom will be remembered for her laugh, her singing and her perseverance. It was her vision and resolve to buy the home that she lived in for over 50 years.
Left to honor Claudia and remember her love, is her husband Stan Poole of the family home in Ocosta, her three sons, Tom (Milinda) Poole, Ted (Cathy) Poole of Ocosta and Tim (Pam) Poole of Montesano, grandsons, Bryon, Matthew and Randy Poole and three great-grandchildren, Jaeden Poole, Kypton Poole and Trevin Soley. She is also survived by her brother Floyd A. Ruggles of Ocosta and her sister Catherine A. Nelson of Othello, Wash. Claudia was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Arta.
A gathering of family and friends to celebrate Claudia’s life will be held on Oct. 17 at 1 p.m. at the Ocosta Recreation Hall.
