Mankato, MN - Claudia Fay Vosbeck of North Mankato was born November 8, 1935, to Claude A. and Elsie W (nee Schuenemann) Vosbeck and died on July 25, 2025.

Claudia retired in 1990 and returned to Minnesota. Claudia was an active member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran. She enjoyed creating beautiful banners for the church.

Claudia traveled extensively and also enjoyed sewing, quilting and collecting Carnival Glass.

Claudia was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by cousins, her St. Paul's family, neighbors and friends.
