Cecilia Adeline “Addie” (Brukner) Ludi was born September 20, 1921 to Anton and Mary Brukner of Colon, NE. She passed away Saturday, April 10, 2021 at South Haven Living Center in Wahoo. She attended Wahoo High School where she graduated in 1939. She was united in marriage to Derrel Ludi of Wahoo on July 18, 1944 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Colon, NE and together they had two sons, Steven and Kevin.
Addie was a devout Catholic all of her life. She delighted in participating in the many social events of the Catholic Church and she was very active in the Wahoo community. Addie worked with her husband Derrel as the third-generation owners of the Wahoo Newspaper. It was family operated until being sold upon retirement in 1986. Addie took great pride in serving her country as a recruiter for the United States Navy. This she described, as one of her major life accomplishments.
She has spent the last decade at South Haven Living Center in Wahoo after suffering a stroke. She will forever be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother and friend to many.
She was preceded in death by her husband Derrel; sons, Steve and Kevin Ludi; grandson, Christopher Ludi; two brothers, Adolph and Louis Brukner; three sisters, Mary (Brukner) Kocina, Sophye (Brukner) Mckinney and Dorothy (Brukner) Thege.
Addie is survived by two grandchildren; Danielle (Ludi) Ficenec (Bobby Ficenec) of Wahoo and Guy Bechtold of Lincoln; daughter-in-law Linda Ludi; three great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
What a great lady. I always enjoyed visiting with her. My Sympathy and Prayer for her family.
Family of Addie, my Mother-Helen Manstedt Breunig, married to Joe Breunig-was a life long friend of Your Mother. Born in the same year as well. My heart goes out to all of you, no matter what age we lose our parents
it is still a great loss to us. I don’t know how many times I was told, oh but your Mother lived a long time, you should be just thankful for that. At least for me, there still is a large place in my heart that only my Mom could fill. Sharon Breunig Sherwood
