She often commented on the fast-paced hustle & bustle of New York City life saying, "it was calling her." Returning to her roots in New York City, with her brother Scott. She worked in many positions in the Mental Health field as a CNA, Caregiver/Home Health Aide and then finally settled in as a Mental Health Technician.

Klaudia loved her family and lifelong friends Aja Venny, Ikasha Rhodes (Pumpkin) and Jasmine Smith-Andrews with a special love for her niece Skye Mayo (Sweetpea). Suffering from several medical issues, Klaudia returned to Topeka KS to be with family. Where she, her brother, niece's and cousins continued their avid Comic Book and movie following of— DC Comics, Marvels, Avenger's etc. Klaudia enjoyed telling jokes, being silly and talking smack with her family and friends.

She is no longer struggling or in pain. Klaudia is not alone, she is in a safe place with her parents, grandparents, aunts and cousins.
