Corrine Ann Albright was born on June 25, 1936 to John and Flora (Klinger) Albright in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She would attend Emerson Grade School and then Washington High School, graduating with the Class of 1954. Later in life, Corrine went on to attend the University of South Dakota, proudly graduating in 1986, at the age of 50, with a degree in social work.
Corrine was united in marriage with Charles William Ludwig on June 9, 1957 in Sioux Falls. They were blessed with three children, Myrth, Brian, and Diane. Corrine and Charles would reside on a farm southeast of Alcester, SD for forty years. In 1997, they moved to Sioux Falls.
Being active in church was important to Corrine and Charles. She taught Sunday School and confirmation classes and throughout her life, she was active in bible study groups. Corrine was a member of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.
Besides the busy life of wife and mother, Corrine became a journalist with her articles published in several local newspapers including the Alcester Union and Argus Leader. Her specialty was human interest stories about people and their lives, hobbies, and activities. Corrine also worked as church secretary for Nathaniel Lutheran in Alcester for several years. After Corrine graduated from University of South Dakota, she worked as a social worker at several local nursing homes. Through a friend, Corrine became active with Huntington’s Disease Society of America and was on the board as a social worker.
Corrine loved word games like Scrabble and Words with Friends. She enjoyed playing board or card games as an activity during family visits. Reading was one of her favorite pastimes and library trips were a must throughout her life. She looked forward to basketball season and could again watch her favorite teams, Duke and San Antonio Spurs.
Family and friends were so important to Corrine and her caring nature was evident to all who met her. She had a remarkable ability to ask questions, truly listen to what people shared, and always had a kind and encouraging response.
Grateful for having shared her life are her children, Myrth Perry of Sioux Falls, Brian (Julie) Ludwig of Milbank, SD, and Diane (Larry) Watson of Elkhorn, NE; grandchildren, Jonathan (Ashley) Ludwig, Megan Ludwig, David Watson, Jenny Watson, Dan Watson, and McKenzie Perry; and great-grandchildren, Myles and Kellen.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles (October 26, 2009); and parents, John and Flora.
The family requests memorials be sent to the Sioux Falls Lutheran School, 6715 S. Boe Lane, Sioux Falls, SD 57108.
