| About | Fort Pierce resident Claudia “Jeanne” Combs, 78, joined her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, following an extended illness. Jeanne was the daughter of Orbie and Bernice Mason of Tampa and was a 1959 graduate of Hillsborough High School. In March of 1961, she married her childhood friend and first grade classmate, Ray A. Combs, also of Tampa, and with him raised two sons, Ray Jr., of Plant City and Greg of Brunswick, GA. They, in turn, gave her two loving daughters-in-law, Cheryl and Kelly, and six adoring grandchildren—Brittany, Kasey, Courtney, David, Harry and Hannah. Jeanne joyfully anticipated the arrival of her first great-grandchild, Kaya Josephine, in early August. Throughout her life Jeanne was blessed with adoration and support from her large, loving family and numerous deep and lasting friendships. She loved following the lives of her children and grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Maintaining meaningful connections with family and friends was her life-long passion. Jeanne was predeceased by her parents and sisters Jackie Daniels and Nancy Burnett, sister-in-law Barbara Mason and brothers-in-law James Burnett and Morgan Combs. In addition to her husband and sons, Jeanne is survived by her two brothers and their wives—Ronnie & Betty Sue and Steve & Susan Mason; sister and her husband—Brenda & Jim Piche; and brother and sister-in-law Harry & Earlene Combs. Remembrance of life services are being delayed until the Spring of 2021. Those wishing to share their condolences are asked to sign the guess book at the link below.
