Nancy Ludwig

Nancy Jane Story Ludwig, 68 years of age, of New London, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, August 13, 2015 after a three month courageous battle with cancer.

Nancy was born May 9, 1947 in Stanly County to the late Grace Irene Wensil Story and the late John Augustus Story. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Mary Sue Story; and brother, Johnnie Wayne Story.

Nancy was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. She was a devout Christian who always put others first, even through her illness. Nancy loved her grandchildren, spending time with them and taking care of them meant the world to her. She loved her chickens and raising them was actually a hobby to her. She just had a special gift! Nancy worked for 20 years at Burlington Industries, and later retired as owner and operator of Ludwig's Variety Store after 20 years.
