Claudia Schiffke Obituary
Claudia Diane Schiffke passed away peacefully Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023.
She was born in Bluffton to Claude and Marcine Ream. She received her high school diploma from Cory-Rawson High School. She was married to Thomas Ury and together, they had a daughter, Tammy. Thomas passed away in 1963.
Claudia worked in many fields over the course of her life until she retired from Whirlpool in Findlay. Claudia married the love of her life, Bernard "Lynn" Schiffke, and upon retiring, they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. She has called it home for over 25 years.
She was kind and friendly to everyone she met. She will be truly missed by her family and her friends as she was always just a phone call away.
Claudia is survived by her siblings, Thomas Ream and Jean Ream; daughter, Tammy Alleman; stepchildren, Steve Schiffke and Roxanne Schiffke; grandchildren, Kristy, Danielle, Jen, Nick, and Megan; and great-grandchildren, Rhylee, Faith, Alexis, Hope, Takoda, Felix, Oliver, and Wyatt.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Marcine Ream; brothers, Albert and Jim Ream; first husband, Thomas Ury; second husband, Bernard "Lynn" Schiffke; and grandson, Declan Harrington.
At the request of both Lynn and Claudia, there will be no services.
Claudia requested that any donations be made to Shriner's Hospital at https://donate.lovetotherescue.org. Claudia was a supporter to Shriner's as their mission helps change the lives of children and she was able to witness the benefits firsthand as her granddaughter has been a patient since birth.
