On May 20, 2014, Claudia Lynn Hanson Godlevsky lost her battle with breast cancer.
She was born “two minutes to June” on May 31, 1947 the only child of Mary Jane (Houde) and Alton Hanson in Great Falls, Mt. She was raised in Cut Bank, Mt. She married Edmund Godlevsky and together they had one daughter, Danielle. Mom worked as a typesetter most of her life but when she was young, prided herself on working in a guitar factory and making a guitar for Jefferson Airplane. She retired from the State of Montana Department of Publications and Graphics.
Survivors include: Cousins Debra Skinner Brackman (Dale), Ellen Skinner Roberts (Jim and family) and Great Aunt Yolanda Connor(Walter), numerous cousins, Daughter Danielle Godlevsky, Granddaughter Anyssa Rose Lynn Bierman, (I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!) and numerous special friends especially the “Christopherson Clan”.
A special thank you to all who cared for her or came and sat with her during her last days. In accordance to her wishes, a private internment will take place at a later date in Forestvale Cemetery. Memorials can be made to Lewis and Clark Humane Society. Please visit www.retzfuneralhome.com to offer the family a condolence or to share a memory of Claudia.

Danielle, I was so saddened to read of your Mom’s passing. She was a special person. I enjoyed working with her years ago at the sate. She always had time to stop and chat when our paths would cross. I’m keeping you all in my prayers.
Bea Gifford says
Dear Danielle, sorry to hear about your mother. I just got back the notice I had mailed to her May 5th, 2014 letting her know that her friend Len had passed away 04/17/2014. They found each other but did not keep in touch as I had hoped. They will now be able to catch up.
Take care. We had hoped to visit Montana and to meet his friends he made while stationed up there.

Claudia was the one grade school and junior high school friend who would always talk about horses. I still have some of the postcards we bought and traded; her name is on a couple of them. We would go out and see her horses, ride, feed them grain and just breathe horses. I’m sure your horses met you and you’re riding in those heavenly meadows. I’ll ride with you one day!
Danielle Godlevsky says
Miss you Mom!
