Claudia Jean LeBaron

May 15, 1947 - January 17, 2021

Claudia peacefully rejoined her Heavenly Father on January 17, 2021. Born on May 15, 1947 to Clyde and Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Muir in Heber, Utah. At the young age of 19 she lost her mother. Her father later met and married Colleen, who became far more than a second mother. Claudia often talked about how Colleen had a very special place in her heart. Claudia married Larry Ford in 1967 and had 7 children. She married Brad LeBaron in 1986. Brad and Claudia were sealed on September 6, 2002. Claudia was a beacon of light to all who knew her. Despite the trials she faced throughout her life, she was always willing to drop what she was doing to lend aid to anyone who needed help, even if it was to simply let you know that you were loved. Her family was very important to her. She frequently hosted family gatherings because she loved having them all together. Sunday dinner was a treasured tradition where even friends and neighbors were welcomed as family. Her love and devotion to her family created a bond that will resonate for generations. Anyone who knew her truly felt the unquestionable love she had for her family and their unconditional love for her in return. Claudia was an excellent cook, gifted pianist, animal lover, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, friend and a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a shining example of Christ-like love and selfless service that has touched everyone who met her. Despite the medical challenges she faced later in life, she remained loving and kind to everyone who was blessed to know her. Even though her time with us has come to an end, she will always remain present in our hearts. We would like to give a special thank you to Dixie Regional Medical Center, Encompass Health, Canterbury Assisted living, friends, family, and all the other amazing people that helped Claudia in her transition through this last chapter of her beautiful life. Claudia is survived by her husband Brad, her children Stephanie, Sean, Debbie, Eric (Cortney), Adrian (Joni), Melissa (Abe), and Lindsay (Derek), 19 grandchildren, Tristan (Amber) Sean, Jacob, Zachary, Samantha, Taylor, Brittany (Caleb), Tyler, Jordan, Dylan, Brooklyn, Alexandria, Joshua, Derek, Mason, Weston, Easton, Payton and Maddox and, 3 great-grandchildren, Marcie, Brielle, and Jace. She is preceded in death by her parents Clyde, Colleen, Mary Elizabeth (Betty) and her two brothers Ricky and Brent. Services for Claudia will be held on Saturday, January 30, 2021. There will be a private family viewing in Mapleton, Utah at 9 am. Afterwards, a live stream of the funeral service at 11:00 am for any family or friends who would like to view it. We will then travel to the Heber City cemetery for a small graveside service at approximately 2:00 pm.
