She was preceded in death by her parents, Sarah Ludwig and Francis and Violet Ludwig; son Rodney: siblings Irene Crieghbaum and Kenneth Ludwig; stepsiblings Sue Feagles, Donna Kring, Michael Kring, Bobby Kring, Charles Roscoe and Mary DeVos.

Visitation will be held on Friday, November 18, 2022, from 5-7 p.m. at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan Street, Plymouth.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at 11 a.m. at the funeral home. Visitation will resume one hour prior.

    My strong and beautiful Aunt Martha,
    My example of strength and endurance. I love you and will miss you greatly.
    You were not just my Aunt, but my friend; best friend of my father and advocate of so many you loved and cared for in life and will be missed not only by me but so many, including your life mate Richard who will miss you until he sees the love of his life again. What a journey of love you and Richard had well over 50 years married-such a lovely example of married love, strength and endurance through many hardships, a bond that stood the test of time and will remain until you meet again.
    Lover of animals, family and friends, outspoken advocate we always knew what was on your mind and how much you cared; such a character and beautiful soul. I am sure Rodney, Kenneth, Irene, Mary and so many others were overjoyed to see you, as we will be when we see you again. I do not have all the words to say how much I love you and will miss you and how grateful I have been to have you in my life. Until we meet again, your niece, Tammy

    Martha, you were beautiful inside and out. You took care of so many of us kids. You made the best homemade food, celebrated all of our birthdays family style. You taught us all so much. You instilled respect, manners, and acceptance and I love you for that.

    Mow mow,
    I can’t even express how much I love and appreciate you. You were the ONLY one that listened when others wouldn’t and heard when others couldnt. I love you with all my heart. Rest in peace Martha.

    I can’t thank her enough for helping me grow into the person I am today. Her patience, kindness and generosity taught me how to be a good person. She treated me like another son, watching over me while my parents worked. I will never forget how beautiful a person she was and how her energy had a positive effect on everyone who had the pleasure of being around her. She will always be my favorite babysitter. She will always be my Aunt Martha. May God welcome her with open arms into His kingdom and give her rest. May He also pour His blessings over the family, giving them strength during this time of loss.
