Riley Ludwig Obituary

Riley Dawn Ludwig (Northey) sadly left our world Monday, December 4th at the age of 35. Riley was born April 5, 1982 in Spokane Valley. She graduated from Rogers HS and later obtained a degree in accounting. She chose a career in Property Mgmt. Riley was an avid fisherwoman and hunter who loved North Idaho. Her son Christopher John Dawson was the absolute love and joy of her life. Riley leaves behind her son Christopher Dawson, her mom & stepdad Gale & Dale Reilly, her father Dave Northey, her brothers Brandon Northey, Jeremy Reilly, sister Sheila Reilly, grandparents Mike & Sharon Lopane & numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her brother Brad Reilly, Grandma & Grandpa-Mary & John Riley, and Grandma Pat-Patricia Heath. A celebration of life will take place in late spring at the St. Joe River. Donations can be made in Riley's name to Alcoholics Anonymous or a Suicide Prevention organization of your choice.
