SUBJECT: DEATH OF CLAUDIA ROMEO 
 
¶1.  The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs is very saddened 
to report the death of our dear friend and colleague, 
Claudia Romeo.  Claudia passed away on February 7, 2010, 
and leaves behind her husband, retired FSO Nick Romeo, 
and four children. 
 
¶2.  Claudia served 32 years with the Department, most 
recently in Muscat as the Human Resources Officer. 
Prior assignments included just about every bureau and 
took her all over the world.  Claudia's warm personality 
and her focus on helping others touched everyone who met 
her.   With just the right mix of humor and reality, she 
mentored and guided many Foreign Service colleagues and 
drew great respect and admiration from those who knew 
her. 
 
¶3.  Funeral services were held on February 14. 
Expressions of condolence can be sent to the family at: 
3721 Ivydale Drive, Annandale, VA 22003.  For donations 
in memory of Claudia, please contact the family for 
specific suggestions or contribute to a charity of your 
choice. 
 
¶4.  The Romeo family sincerely thanks everyone for their 
heartfelt support and prayers during this very difficult 
time. 
 
 
¶5. Minimize considered.
