May 10, 1936 – Jan. 6, 2017

Bette died on Jan. 6, 2017, due to pancreatic cancer. 

She was born in Ventura, Calif. on May 10, 1936, to Cleo Joy and Charles Warren Comstock. Bette and her minutes-younger twin sister were Mother’s Day gifts to Cleo.

Claudia was a fifth-generation Californian, graduated from Ventura High School and attended Ventura College.  She and her twin sister, Cordelia, were winning doubles partners and played in many tennis tournaments in Southern California.  

She met Robert Singler on a blind date. They married six months later and spent the last 61 years together. Bob was career military and as such, they were afforded the ability to live many places. Eventually they settled their family in Roy and spent the last 38 years in Bountiful.  

Bette was very active in St. Olaf Catholic Church and with the Ladies of Charity.

She is survived by her husband; children Margaret Rose (Peter) Querciagrossa, Mary Elizabeth Brennan, Robert Francis Jr. (Nancy), Marjorie Anne (Phil) Start, George Albert; 23 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and her twin, Cordelia Margaret “Pegge” Comstock Davis.

A funeral Mass was celebrated Jan. 13 at St. Olaf Catholic Church.
