OBITUARYEAST LIVERPOOL (OH) -- Cynthia M. "Cindi" Ludwig, 56, of Kelly Avenue in East Liverpool, passed away on Saturday evening, May 25, 2013.
She was born in East Liverpool on March 19, 1957, a daughter of Marjorie D. "Marge" Revelant Ludwig and the late Robert L. Ludwig, who passed away in 1998.
A 1975 graduate of East Liverpool High School, Cindi worked for ten years as a Materials Technician at Beaver Medical Center before becoming a licensed realtor. She sold real estate locally until recent years, but spent much of her time caring for others. Her giving personality was endearing to all who knew her, and she would give a friend a shirt off her back or cook up a great meal to anyone in need.
Cindi was so proud of her family, including her son, Donald James "Jim" Crumbley and his companion Wendy Ludington, of East Liverpool, and her daughter, Samantha D. Hilditch, also of East Liverpool. Also surviving is her sister and best friend, Saundra Howard and her husband, Perry, of East Liverpool, and a brother, Robert "Bobby" Ludwig, and his wife, Lori, also of East Liverpool, as well as her nieces, Erica Baker and Allana Baker, and nephews, Devon Ludwig and Nathan Howard. A friend to all, Cindi remained close with Donald J. Crumbley, Sr., and his son, Aaron Smith, of East Liverpool.
Cindi will be laid to rest at Riverview Cemetery.

[John M. Gwin Note--6 Apr 2024: My wife's (Sharon L. Gwin's) third cousin Jeannie Carpenter Harvey sent me the following email 7 Oct 2022. This began a conversation we renewed last week and which has led me to research Ancestry.com, FindAGrave.com, Facebook.com, and other such internet websites for all the descendants shown here so far of the above 25.08--Alfred Clinton Rhodes, Sharon's g-granduncle and Jeannie's g-grandfather.
I am Jeannie Carpenter Harvey. My mother was Clarsie Marie Rhodes, daughter of Lonnie Burton Rhodes (wife Orlie May Cox), son of Alfred Clinton Rhodes, whose wife was Rosa Florence Harper.
I saw where you have my great-grandmother listed as just Rose. It is told that Rosa was not really a Harper. They adopted her. She was found south of Charleston [Kanawha Co., WV] by a couple traveling, who saw smoke and went to it. There they found an Indian (Native American) couple that had been killed. Then they heard a baby crying. They took her with them to Charleston and asked if anyone knew someone who would take her, as they were going west. They were told the Harpers would take her. They were mixed with Indian and known as the "dark" Harpers. The Harpers were north of Charleston. The dark Harpers did raise her.
I have more information if it would be helpful. Jeannie (jeanniekiaatgmaildotcom)]28.03--Tonya Carpenter facebook [PRIVATE]; ; m. Mr. Duffey facebook [PRIVATE];27.05--Darrell Rhodes, (twin), b. 1935 in WV/WV/WV; d. 1935; bd. FAG; m. never; no ch.;
