Claudia passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 29, 2026 in Cleburne, Texas. She was born on August 9, 1947, in Wichita Falls, Texas. Claudia was the daughter of Martha and Cecil Matheson of Nocona, Texas. On January 10, 1986, Claudia married the love of her life, Dale Williams, and together they shared a beautiful destiny of more than 40 wonderful years filled with devotion, laughter, and family.
Claudia was a dedicated and accomplished dental hygienist for over 32 years, a career she approached with compassion and genuine care for her patients. She formed lasting relationships with those she served, always offering kindness, reassurance, and a warm smile.
Beyond her career, Claudia was the heart of her family—a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. With a heart full of passion and spunk, she poured her energy and love into every aspect of family life, always offering wisdom, humor, and unwavering support. Best known for her spirited personality and quick wit, she brought joy to those around her. She was always welcoming and generous with her time. She was devoted to her church - St. John Vianney Catholic Church, the Cleburne Garden Club, and found joy in her lifelong hobby of cross-stitching.
She was preceded in death by her mother Martha Matheson, father, Cecil Matheson, brother Cecil Matheson Jr, and her infant daughter Sidney Hilley.
Claudia is survived by her husband Dale Williams, her three children Paige Parker (Brad), Greg Williams (Cammy), Morgan Sutter (Eric) and eight grandchildren, Vivian Parker, Warren Parker, Riley Williams, Chase Williams, Maddie Williams, Piper Williams, Mason Sutter, and Sidney Sutter.
