Ludwina was born December 26, 1932 in Hausach, Germany to Emil and Anna Schmider. She immigrated to the United States in 1957, where she met the love of her life, Edwin. They married in 1958 and settled first in Ridgewood and then Glendale, New York, where they made many dear friends in the neighborhood.
She worked as a beloved and loyal housekeeper for several families. She was an empathetic person, always ready to help where she could and do her part. She loved her homeland of Germany, participating in several local German-American cultural organizations, and passing down family traditions to her daughter and grandchildren. She loved good food and a good party.
She is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Edwin; daughter, Christa Mannion of Glen Ellyn, Illinois; grandchildren, Samantha Mannion of Rochester, Minnesota and Richard Mannion of Boulder, Colorado; siblings Emil Schmider, Margot Stahl and Winfried Schmider of Hausach, Germany as well as many dear nieces and nephews.
