Eleanor Logan
August 30, 1928 — February 2, 2013
Eleanor Agnes Sauter, daughter of William and Catherine(Heinen) Sauter was born August 30, 1928 near Morris, Minnesota. She was baptized, confirmed, and married at Assumption Catholic Church in Morris. Ellie enjoyed crafts, baking, traveling, sewing and fishing with Sam and her children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. In her later years she also enjoyed playing Bingo, cards and putting numerous puzzles together at the West Wind Village in Morris, MN.
Ellie met the love of her life, Eugene "Sammy" Logan, at the Donnelly Dance Hall; they were united in marriage on November 6, 1945. The couple made their home on a farm near Morris for 13 years prior to moving to Alberta. They lived in Alberta for 39 years and after Ellie's retirement they moved to Chokio.
Ellie retired from the Chokio-Alberta Schools after 27 years of service. She cherished the many children she helped throughout her years there. Shortly after retiring, Ellie's health deteriorated and she fought many a health battle without ever complaining. She was forever appreciative of all the kindness shown her. After her passing the family found this note, "To my Family – I love you all very much. Thanks for all the things you have done for me." A true testimony of the person Ellie truly was!
Ellie died on Saturday morning, February 2, 2013 at the Stevens Community Medical Center in Morris, having reached the age of 84. Ellie was surrounded by her husband, Sam and their family.
Ellie was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church in Chokio. She loved participating in the Wednesday Craft Group where she treasured her many close friends.
Ellie will be remembered lovingly by her family and close friends. She is survived by her husband of 67 years, Sam, Chokio, MN; seven children: Jim (Lou) Logan, Breezy Point, MN, Judy (Gary) Heltemes, Cross Lake, MN, Jeanne (Steve) Thompson, Plymouth, MN , John (special friend Joslin Anderson) Logan, Mankato, MN, Jan Logan, St. Cloud, MN, JoAnn (Jon Rohs) Brus, Plymouth, MN, Jeri (Dean) Erickson, Chokio, MN; 11 grandchildren and 8 great- grandchildren. Also survived by her brothers and sisters, Mary Meyer, Apple Valley, MN, Willie (Marjorie) Sauter, Morris, MN, Dorothy Meyer, Jefferson, OR, Caroline Woolridge, Catherine Logan, Dolores Koplin, Lorraine Woolridge, all of Morris, MN and Rosella (Perry) Juergensen, Sun City, AZ; one sister-in-law, Irene Sauter, Pine City, MN; and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Joe Sauter, Ben Sauter, one sister, Irene Schuster.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials are given to the Stevens County Relay for Life.
