Claudia M. Lima, 78, Fargo passed away Monday, April 14, 2025, at Sanford Health, Fargo. Claudia was born to Joseph and Frances (DeMars) Sullivan on August 15, 1946, in Fargo, North Dakota.

Claudia’s early education was marked by her graduation from Shanley High School in 1964. On May 14, 1966, she was united in marriage to her cherished husband, Jerome Lima, in Webster, South Dakota.

Claudia was a woman of many passions. She cherished moments spent at her lake cabins on Lake Sallie and Pearle Lake, where she found solace and joy. A devoted caregiver, she operated her own daycare, nurturing the lives of many children with warmth and kindness. In addition to her caregiving roles, Claudia held various positions throughout her career, most notably as a controller at Burlington Coat Factory and in shipping and receiving at Party City.

Claudia is survived by her loving spouse, Jerome Lima, of Fargo, ND, daughters Jodie Lima, of Fargo, and Tamara (Jeremy) Cusey, of Hawley, MN. She was a proud grandmother to three grandchildren, Diandra (Tylor) Farsdale and Dalton Knapper, both of Hawley, and Haleigh (Ryan) Krieger; and a doting great-grandmother to Bjorn and Layla Farsdale, Scarlett, Barron, and Collin Krieger. Additionally, Claudia is survived by her sisters, Patricia (Randy Asselin) Sullivan, Fargo, ND, and Michelle Herb, Phoenix, AZ; along with her sister-in-law, Joyce Braaten of Two Harbors, MN; and a host of nieces and nephews who will cherish her memory.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Sullivan and Frances Fjeld; and her stepfather, Jerome Fjeld.
