On February 4, 1964 she married David M. Crabtree. They made their home in Enid where they raised five children; Marland, Jeff, Darren, Mark and Susan. When the children were older, she managed several businesses and eventually retired from Pioneer Telephone. She enjoyed vacationing with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at the lake and the various places her children lived. Her favorite event was planning and attending the annual Crabtree "Big Toe" reunion at Lake Tenkiller with the entire family. It was a special place for Dave and Claudia as it was where they vacationed with their children every summer and eventually purchased a retirement home there. She enjoyed baking Christmas goodies to mail to all her grandchildren. Spending time with her many grandchildren was her passion.
