Elsa Ludwig passed away peacefully on Monday at the age of 102.
Elsa was born in Vallejo , CA to William and Ann Widenmann on December 25, 1916. She was a graduate of Stanford University. She married Carl E Ludwig in 1944 and they eventually settled in Sacramento, CA to raise their family. After Carl passed away in 1998, Elsa moved to the Waterford at Rossmoor for a number of years before eventually relocating to Aegis of Moraga in 2015.
Elsa was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and always showed a keen interest in everyone's lives. She made many dear friends at Aegis and especially enjoyed her weekly bridge games.
Elsa is survived by her son, Carl W Ludwig (Virginia) of Orinda, daughters Perry Leger (Jim) of Plymouth, MN, Carol Blake (Bill Thomas) of Port Angeles, WA, 6 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. The family wishes to thank the staff at Aegis of Moraga and Vitas hospice for the loving and compassionate care they always showed Elsa.
