Isabelle Ludlow
Isabelle Ludlow, 86, of Dickinson, Texas passed away on May 23, 2022. Isabelle was born February 6, 1936, in Galveston, Texas to loving parents, William Anton and Isabelle Marie Ricke. Isabelle was a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to so very many people. Isabelle was a member of Shrine of the True Cross for more than 60 years and her unwavering faith brought her great comfort. Isabelle’s beautiful smile lit up a room, particularly, any time her grandchildren or great grandchildren visited. Her warm heart and pleasant manner will be truly missed.
Isabelle was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John Ludlow, and daughter, Isabelle Mary Durkop.
Left to cherish her amazing life are her children: Beth Mosqueda (Steven), Rebecca Voisard (Michael), David Ludlow (Nessie), Chris Ludlow (Charlene), James Ludlow (Kristan) and David Durkop; sister: Jacque Holchak (Melvin); grandchildren: Ben, John, Chris, Victoria, J.T., James, Tara and Will; great grandchildren: Aniya, Ezra, Leila, Hana, and Tristan; as well as nieces, nephews and several other family members and friends.
In her honor, there will be a visitation at Crowder Funeral Home in Dickinson on Monday, May 30, 2022, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm with a Rosary at 7:00 pm. There will be a funeral mass held at Shrine of the True Cross on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, at 10:30 am with interment to follow at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Isabelle’s favorite charity, St. Vincent De Paul.
As a member for many years of Shrine of the True Cross, I remember Isabelle being a woman of great faith and she was a wonderful light that shined brightly for all those she encountered. May the Lord comfort her family and friends as they grieve the loss of this beautiful soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May she rest in the arms of her Lord Jesus.
Isabel, you were a kind and gentle lady… a rare gem in this garden of life… You will be missed by all who knew you… May you rest in the loving arms of Jesus and His holy Mother… Prayers …!!!
Besides sharing her gift of music at True Cross, Isabelle served Dickinson for years as a piano teacher. While I was not a good piano student, her theory classes resonated with me, and I am grateful to admit that every note I’ve ever written, transposed, or transcribed (still happening today) is because of what she taught me. Thank you, Ludlow family, for sharing your mom, who gave me musical tools that – 50 years later – I still get to use to reach others. Know that she lives on…
