Elizabeth Claudette Golczewski
11/20/1933 ~ 4/27/2026

With deep love and gratitude, we honor the life of a remarkable woman who passed away at 92 years of age.

Claudette was a devoted wife of 60 years to her beloved husband, Ted, who preceded her just seven months ago. We honor her as a Mother to Mary Theresa Keane ( Jim) and Concetta Henninger Neiman (James), and our sister, the late Kathleen Golczewski .

She is survived by her grandsons, Reid Henninger (Kendall) , J. Bradley Henninger ( Ashley) and Michael Keane (Mattie), and her adored great-grandson, Jude Warren Henninger, who brought her immeasurable joy in the last 10 months of her life. She is survived by cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Claudette dedicated 25 years of her professional life to a successful career as an office administrator and manager for the Ford Motor Credit Company. She earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues and staff. Known for her wit, sass, and strong opinions, always shared with humor, she gave wise counsel and unwavering love, helping to shape the lives of those around her.

Claudette lived in the same house in Brooklyn Park for 69 years. Together with Ted, they created a home that was the heart of our family- filled with love, laughter and the comfort of her cooking and there was always something sweet for dessert.

Though she is no longer with us, her spirit remains- in the strength she instilled in her daughters, the laughter she sparked, the traditions she created, and the love she gave so generously to her grandsons.

Her life was a testament to devotion and joy and she will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Visit the family owned Gonce Funeral Service P.A., 4001 Ritchie Highway, on Monday, May 18, 2026 from 1-3pm. A Memorial Service will be held at 3:00pm.
