The family of Claudene Craddick invites loved ones to gather for a time of fellowship and remembrance on Thursday, January 2, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers in Lubbock, Texas. A celebration of her remarkable life, which spanned 85 years, will follow at 2:00 PM in the same location. A private family graveside service will be held at Resthaven Memorial Park Cemetery. Claudene gained her heavenly wings on Thursday, December 26, 2024.

Claudene was born on June 18, 1939, in Horatio, Arkansas, to her loving parents, Raymond Faye and Flossie Gallimore Slaton. During her childhood, her family relocated to Levelland, Texas, where she graduated from Levelland High School. On June 8, 1962, Claudene married the love of her life, Jimmy Craddick, in Lubbock, Texas.

A woman of boundless generosity and a nurturing heart, Claudene devoted herself to her family and community. Her hearty cooking and passion for sewing brought comfort and joy to those around her. Professionally, she dedicated 25 years to a career in banking at American State Bank, where she cultivated enduring friendships with colleagues and customers alike.

Claudene will be remembered as a sweet and spirited mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, affectionately known as “Nonie.” Her warmth, determination, and fiery spirit left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

She is survived by her children, Danetta (Randall) Durrett and Cody Craddick; her bonus children, Davis (Tammy) Craddick, Dennis Craddick, and Saletta Morgan; her grandchildren, Randi (Scott) DeVore and Dylan (Jasmine) Durrett; her bonus grandchildren, Krista (Eddie) Banales, Keith (Jennifer) Craddick, Kayla (Jonathan) Mansour, and Kirk (Shayla) Craddick; her brother, Raymond (Vicki) Slaton; and many beloved great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Craddick, and her parents, Raymond Faye and Flossie Slaton.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Promiseland Homes for the compassionate care provided to Claudene over the past three years.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Claudene’s memory may be made to Hospice of Lubbock, 3702 21st St., Lubbock, TX 79410.

Claudene’s legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Prayers for the family

I had the pleasure of working with Claudene at the bank. She was a wonderful person and always enjoyed being around her. She will be missed but I know she is now in total peace with no pain. Prayers for comfort for the family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bracky

From my first memories of my cousin, Dink was beautiful, kind, and classy. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was fun to be around. She was younger than my mother and I grew up thinking she was one of the coolest, hippest moms around, which made me a little jealous of Danetta. Ha! I absolutely loved to listen to Dink talk. Her voice was so warm and soothing. She will always be loved and will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Danetta, Cody, Raymond and all the family. Much love to you all. ~ Susan

Dink will be so missed by so many people.

Love, hugs, and prayers to all the family. Nonie was a special and very loved lady! She will be greatly missed. Love, Britni Main

Nonie was so very special to me. She loved with her whole heart, made each holiday so very special, from her yummy food to her thoughtful gifts. We loved to visit her at the bank as kids. She always gift the East eggs book full of quarters to us and all the memories at her and PaPaws house will never be forgotten. We will miss you forever Nonie! Love you all!

As a young cousin I always thought Dink was so Beautiful. Like a movie star.. we would visit when I was little and I loved to play in her shoes..She had lots of shoes and I'd walk around in those heels feeling so big at 4 or 5! She was beautiful inside and out🥰💖

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother. Her love and guidance will forever be a part of you, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

Claudene was in my Sunday School class at Southcrest and one of the sweetest women I’ve ever known. I know she touched a lot of hearts and will be missed but heave will be happy

Claudine was such a a sweet lady. I would run into her at church and she always had time to visit and she knew everything going on with my family. She was beloved by all and was a wonderful "Nonnie" which her grandkids and great grandkids called her, including my son. Rest in Peace in the arms of our Blessed Savior. Love and Prayers for the family.✝️🛐
