Betty Jane

Claudio

Betty Claudio, born October 19, 1933, in Milwaukee, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2026, at the age of 93. A lifelong Milwaukee resident, Betty was born and raised in the city and devoted her life to her family.

Betty was a loving wife and mother who helped guide and support her family’s business. When life required her to take on new responsibilities, she courageously reinvented herself and learned accounting—an achievement that reflected her determination, adaptability, and commitment to her family.

Above all, Betty was devoted to creating a strong and loving home. She was known for her warmth, resilience, and generosity. She loved cooking and gardening and excelled at both. Her family will especially remember the wonderful holiday dinners she prepared and continued making well into her 80s, bringing everyone together around her table.

Betty is survived by her children, Rick, Crystal, James, and Jeffrey; her daughters-in-law; nieces and nephews; grandchildren; and many dear friends. Her beloved son, Jose, passed away two weeks after Betty. The family finds comfort in knowing that mother and son are together again.

Betty will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her love, strength, and devotion to her family will remain a lasting part of the lives she touched.

A private service for family will be held. A celebration of Betty’s life will be announced at a later date.

“Her children arise and call her blessed.” — Proverbs 31:28

Betty’s memory will be cherished forever by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
