Claudia Little, 64, of Batavia passed away on August 13, 2015 at United Memorial Medical Center. She was born on April 21, 1951 in Attica, New York to the late Stanley Nowak and Edith (Wierzbowska) Nowak of Batavia. She is preceded in death by her brothers Stanley Nowak and Michael “YoYo” Nowak and his beloved dog Trouble.

She was a dedicated daughter and mother and took great joy in her furry family of three dogs.  She indulged in salty food, hot dogs and pizza.  She traveled extensively and spent many wonderful weeks throughout Italy.  After retiring from Kodak after many decades, she took to the skies as a flight attendant for Comair/Delta Connection until her retirement.  She had a quirky sense of humor and while quick with an opinion, she was always willing to lend a helping hand.   Raised in Attica, New York, other than a small stint in Kentucky, she lived her adult live among family and friends in Batavia and Elba, New York.

She is survived by son, Michael Little (wife, Barbara); daughter, Jennifer Little-Sherman (husband, Daniel); 2 grand children and 2 great grandchildren.  She is also survived by her sisters, Sandy Flint (husband, George) and Susan Nowak, and numerous nieces and nephews
