Frank A Ludeman, 89, passed peacefully on February 5, 2019 at Fairhaven Community.

February 9, 2019

Frank was born on August 6, 1929, the son of Arthur and Lillian (Romey) Ludeman and lived his entire life in Whitewater. He worked as a farmer in his early years and on August 21, 1954, he married Bertha (Orcutt) in Whitewater. Then in 1959, Frank moved his growing family to town and started working for Federal Fertilizer, eventually retiring from Kaiser Chemical Company. He raised his family in a quiet demeanor as he knew it was hard to get a word in edgewise with six daughters – when they asked for his permission, his response was always, “go ask your mother”.
