On the night of the September eclipse with the full harvest moon, beloved artist, teacher, trainer, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend Laurie Anne Lawrence Ludwig went to the light taken by cancer. Brilliant and thoughtful, Laurie touched many lives, and she will be missed. Laurie had a heart of gold, a playful joyous spirit, and she saw the best in everyone. Laurie was born in Los Angeles Jan. 7, 1965, and lived in Ventura CA from toddlerhood on. She attended Ventura Montessori School, Mound Elementary, Balboa Junior High, Buena High, and Ventura College. Precocious, she learned to read before she started school, and to drive at 8 years old. Highly intelligent and artistic, she loved reading, learning, and creating art. Talented athletically, she had a passion for beach volleyball, and she taught aerobics and weight training for many years at Patagonia and at the YMCA.
Laurie had three children: Kyle Lawrence, Steven Ludwig, and Nicholas Ludwig. She was an amazing and loving mother, grandmother, and aunt.
We will celebrate her life on Saturday Jan.4, 2025 beginning at 3pm. We will share stories, fire, and food. We will mostly be outside so wear warm clothes. We plan to walk to the beach to watch the sun set.
Laurie was a great cook, and justly famous for her salsa and her enchiladas. Please bring stories about Laurie, photos if you have them, a Mexican style dish to share, and a chair.
If you can't attend, you can join the conversation below with photos and memories.
