Claudia Gail Adams, 70, of Pryor, passed away on Friday, February 26, 2021 in Tulsa. She was born on October 28, 1950 in Tulsa, Oklahoma; the daughter of Lawrence and Ruth (Hill) Cousatte, Claudia worked as a waitress in her younger years, and then as a homemaker in her own home, tending to her family and many others. She married Alfred “Pokey” Adams in 2006. She was also a proud member of the Quapaw Tribe.  In her spare time, she enjoyed going fishing, shopping, garage sales, and watching a good Sci-Fi movie. Claudia was a wonderful cook and enjoyed making dishes for her family at home and in community with others. She loved her dogs and spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren. She leaves behind many memories for her family to remember, among them being her ability to get anything clean and keep it clean, which was second to none. We will cherish memories of the big hugs she welcomed us with to be followed by her saying, “Ok, now go warsh your hands!” We will remember her love of fashion and her meticulous, everyday beauty routines. Her signature fiery red hair further exemplified her exuberant personality. All who knew her can attest to her deep love of babies. She was Grandma to all.
