Claudia Ruth Hulbert, 91, of Butler, Indiana died Friday, November 28, 2025, at Laurels of DeKalb in Butler.

She was born September 14, 1934, in St. Joe, Indiana to Harry Shuff, Sr. and Lula (Lutz) Shuff.

She married Olen Hulbert, Sr. He preceded her in death in 1991.

Claudia retired from Messenger Corp. in Auburn; she loved her job making calendars.

She loved the simple joys in life, sewing projects, puzzles that kept her mind sharp, and diamond art that added sparkle to her days. And if you had a dog, you knew she'd have a treat ready, because she never missed a chance to show them love. She'll be remembered for her creativity, her kindness, and the way she made both people and pups feel special.

Surviving are a daughter, Kathy (John) Grogg of Hudson; a son, Dan Noragon of Hamilton; a stepdaughter, Sharon Hulbert of Angola; two stepsons, Olen (Melanie) Hulbert, Jr. of Butler and Robert Roy (Sharon) Hulbert of Pleasant Lake; 18 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; and a sister, Faye Tarlton of Butler.
