Elsie Louise (Weber) Logan passed away at the age of 98. She was born to George & Katherine (Katie Amend) Weber in Quincy where she grew up on “the farm”. She graduated from Quincy High School in 1936.

She attended and graduated from Central Washington School of Education (CWU) and started her teaching career in Harrah, WA in the early 1940’s. There she met the love of her life, Warren M. Logan. They were married on February 8, 1943 in Yakima. After Logie finished his service with the U.S. Navy they settled in Harrah. They had two children, Gary & Sally. Tragically, Logie died in a car accident on August 28, 1952. Elsie and the kids moved to Quincy in September 1952 when a teaching opportunity was offered to her. She remained in Quincy in her home until her death.

She was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church her entire life and attended regularly until she could no longer hear well enough to enjoy the services. She taught the fourth grade at Pioneer School until retirement in 1982. She remembered many of her students and could tell a story about each of them if asked. Many of these “kids” have spoken fondly of her.

Elsie had many friends and relatives in the Quincy/Wenatchee area. She bowled, played pinochle, was a member of the “Black Cats” group (much like the Red Hats) and loved playing card games, all with a great sense of humor, but was out to win the game! Her extended family and her grandchildren and great grandchildren were very special to her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Logie, her parents, her siblings & spouses, Cleda & Bill Scaife, Lawrence & Berneice Weber, Eldon and Dolores Weber and Jack Dennis, her neice, Lori Weber Siefken, as well as many special friends and relatives.

She is survived by her sister, Dorothy Dennis (Wenatchee), her children Gary W. Logan (Rio Rico, AZ) and Sally L. & Bob Hart (Union Gap, WA), her grandchildren Jason & Thea Hart (Bellingham) and Austin & Sarah Hart (Portland) and her great grandchildren Blayne Hart (Bellingham) and Vendela & Sven Hart (Portland). She is also survived by her very beloved nieces and nephews Bill (Peggy) Scaife, Steve (Pennie) Weber, Cheryl Weber, Sandy (Keven) Gardner, Marcia (Ken) Firoved, Pam Nutter, Greg (Mary) Dennis, Patti (Greg) Woerhle, Debbie (Chuck) Graaff, Terri (Jeff) Brown, Denise (Tim) Hooyer, Mark (Rachelle) Weber and Scott (Kathy) Dennis. She also had many great and great-great nieces and nephews, who spent countless hours playing with her blocks and loving that she always had offerings of candy and/or cookies for them.

Elsie will be remembered fondly by many and leaves a huge hole in our hearts, but we know that she is pain free and is having a joyful reunion in heaven with those that went before her.

A celebration of Elsie’s life will be at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 716 3rd Ave SE, Quincy, WA on Thursday, September 21st at 1:00 with a dessert (her favorite meal!!) fellowship to follow. Her ashes will be interned with her husband at the Wapato Reservation Cemetery near Harrah at a later date.
