Of Alexandria, VA. Daughter of the late Benjamin J. Ludwig and Geri G. Ludwig (Feinstein). Sister of Dara L. Greene (Joshua E. Greene) of Fairfax, VA and Grant H. Ludwig (Liat Ida). Aunt of Ashira B. Beutler-Greene (William W. Beutler), Alexander R. Greene, Yaron L. Ludwig, and Adam Z. Ludwig, and Great-aunt of Billy G. Beutler. Born in Hartford, CT and raised in Alexandria, VA, Sandra was a member of the Fort Hunt High School class of 1968, and obtained a degree in Sociology from the University of Maryland, College Park and a Master’s in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis. She was proud of her Peace Corps service in the Ivory Coast, as well as stints living and working in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands and Hennepin County, Minnesota. In the Washington, D.C. area, she contributed professionally to community building and service as a child and adolescent social worker for the District of Columbia and Fairfax County Public School and Social Service systems. Sandra especially loved her work in private practice with Northern Virginia Child and Family Services in Springfield, VA and as the Social Worker for the Pulley Career Center. Independent, principled, and resilient, Sandra founded the DC-area Women’s Adventure Club and served as a volunteer for the Soil and Marker Committee of the Alexandria Community Remembrance Project, working to make sure that the history of African Americans in Alexandria is recognized and not forgotten.

The family of Sandra Ludwig wishes to extend sincere thanks to Dr. Jay Lustbader of Georgetown University Hospital and Dr. Karen Myers of Washington Internists Group for their care of Sandra throughout her life.

The funeral will be held on Friday, August 30, at King David Memorial Gardens in Falls Church, VA.
