CLAUDIA CUTHRELL
June 4, 1928-June 12, 2017
Claudia Cuthrell, beloved daughter of Louis Daniel Cuthrell and Claudia Applewhite Cuthrell, died Monday, June 12, 2017, at Kitty Askins Hospice Center.
A graveside service will be held Wednesday, June 14, 2017, at 11 a.m. in Willow Dale Cemetery, with the Rev. Dr. Glenn Phillips of First Baptist Church officiating.
Claudia was born in Goldsboro June 4, 1928, and was the fifth daughter born to the Cuthrells.
Because of her physical and mental disabilities, she never attended school.
Claudia remained at home with her parents as her older sisters attended school, married and moved out of the house.
She kept busy doing many chores around the house. Claudia dusted, put everything in its place, swept the front walk and gradually started sweeping the entire sidewalk.
She looked forward to greeting the mailman and paper boy.
Claudia attended First Baptist Church regularly with her family.
After the death of her father in 1973 and then her mother in 1980, Claudia was placed in a private home with four other clients.
In 1981 Claudia moved to Woodard's Care on U.S. 70. The management and staff at Woodard's provided a loving and secure home for Claudia until she moved to the Brian Center in April of 2015.
At Woodard's, Claudia enjoyed bingo games, ceramic painting and the many church groups and individuals that visited. Her greatest pleasure was visiting "her church," where she always felt welcomed.
Claudia is survived by her nieces and nephews, Eleanor Hester White of Raleigh, Lee Hester and wife, Pat, of Apex, Robert Hester and wife, Barbara, of Westover, W.Va., Donna Hester of Louisburg, Louis Weil and wife, Sissy, of Morehead City, David Weil and wife, Emily, of Goldsboro and Leslie Weil Paley of Goldsboro, and a special great-nephew, Daniel Paley.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to First Baptist Church, 125 S. John St., Goldsboro, N.C., 27530, or to a favorite charity.
