Marjorie Ludwig Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 27, 2017.

Marjorie Elaine Ludwig (nee Mihills) passed from this life on December 17, 2017 at the age of 96 years in Escondido CA. Marjorie was born in Salt Lake City to M. E. and Gladys Mihills.

They moved to California when she was a child. She married Paul F. Ludwig in Sacramento in 1942. As an Air Force wife, she lived in several places in the United States and Canada. The family moved to Fresno in 1961. Paul died in 1970.

Marjorie graduated magna cum laude from CSU Fresno in 1975 with a degree in accounting. She took pride in her career. She formed a CPA partnership-McDonald and Ludwig--with Florence McDonald. They were the first female CPA partnership in the central valley of California. Marjorie was a Governor of the Society of California Accountants in 1990-91.

Marjorie was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, her husband and an infant daughter.

Left to mourn are her children-Susan (Robert) Bourgeois of Escondido, Jane Ludwig of Idaho, Thomas (Lisa) Ludwig, of Perris CA; her grandchildren, Brian Bourgeois, Janet Bourgeois Smith, Sarah Ludwig, and Jessica Ludwig, four great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

Marjorie loved her family and she especially cherished her dogs.

What to say about my co-worker and friend Marge? She was my first mentor when I was fresh out of college. She helped me make the transition from "textbook accounting" to "real world, real life accounting" - showing me all of the daily, practical things, both mundane and major, that you had to know to do well. She got me off to a good start in my career. She was a good teacher who was knowledgeable and very, very serious about our profession. But, she was also the one who, after a little good natured teasing on his part, bet our boss lunch that she and I could turn out the next financial statement we did perfectly proofread the first time around. With blue pencil poised in hand, he spent a long time looking at that next one. Marge and I both enjoyed lunch on him very much! And, she was also the person who came back all excited from visiting her family and said to me: "I know you like science fiction. I just saw a movie I know you'll love. Let's go! And, so, go we did...twice!! The movie?...Star Wars. Plus, later, both sequels. So, what to say about Marge? To me, she was a special person of intelligence, integrity, wit and humor. I will remember her always with equal parts of respect and fondness.
