Ludwig, Ann Rae (nee Yarbrough) on Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at age 91. Beloved wife of the late Lewis Ludwig. Cherished mother and best friend of Patricia Ludwig. Treasured friend to many. Ann was a beautiful soul with a smile that could brighten the darkest day. She loved to travel and filled her life with music and flowers. She was Past Matron of Meridian Chapter #442 O. E. S. and enjoyed her membership of over forty years. Grateful thanks to the staff of Alexian Brothers Lansdowne Village who so lovingly cared for Ann, especially Mary, Lucy, Dominique, Priscilla, Cynthia, Gaynel and Dee-her angels. Services: As per Ann's wishes, there will be no services. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the charities Ann loyally supported: BackStoppers Inc., St. Louis Area Food Bank, Salvation Army, St. Louis Peregrine Society and Alzheimer's Assn. (St. Louis Chapter). Today she walks with God-a new star in His heaven. (Arrangements by John L. Ziegenhein & Sons).
