Visitation will be at the Crosby-Jaeger Funeral Home in Springfield Thursday from 12 noon to 7 p.m., followed by a prayer service. Regina "Kathryn" Ludens was born February 10, 1915, to Cornelius and Martha (DeLong) Lukkes in a log cabin east of Springfield. She died Monday, February 19, 2007, at the Good Samaritan Center in Tyndall. Kathryn attained the age of 92 years and nine days. Kathryn moved with her family to a farm north of Avon, SD when she was ten days old. She received an eighth grade education at the Rueb Country School. As a young lady, she helped her parents on the farm and worked as a domestic for several years. Kathryn married John Albert Ludens on September 20, 1940, at his grandparent's Wandscheer home. Together they farmed for 46 years (1941-1987). Three children were born to their union. They retired in 1987 and built an home and moved into Springfield. When health declined, Kathryn entered the Springfield Assisted Living Center in February, 2003, then the St. Michael's Nursing Center in August, 2006 and the Good Samaritan Center in November, 2006. Kathryn made confession of faith and was baptized in 1928 and joined the Baptist Church in Avon. Upon marriage, she joined the Emmanuel Reformed Church in 1940, and was an active member all of her life, having taught Sunday School and being a member of the Worship and Service Circle. She also taught Vacation Bible School at the Kingsburg Church and cooked at Bon Homme Bible Camp for many years. Kathryn worked with her husband to support the Sioux City Gospel Mission and Bon Homme Sunday School Association.
