VAVA LOGUE
Vava Marguerite Jones Logue, 88, died on Sept. 14, 2003,
at home in Murdock, Washington.
Mrs. Logue was born July 31, 1915 in Montour, Idaho to
Howard and Ida (Emmerson) Jones, growing up and spending her school years
in Montour. She spent many happy times riding the Speeder cars with her dad
who was section foreman on the railroad including Cascade, Donnelly, and
McCall, Idaho.
After graduation she met and married Walt Logue in Cascade
in April 1935. The couple lived in a tent at the foot of Collier Peak on
West Mountain in Idaho for two winters. They would snowshoe into Cascade
for supplies. The following three years Walt and Vava lived and worked on
Gold Fork, Paddy Flats, and Old Meadows, Idaho. A move was made to Seneca,
Ore. in 1941. The family moved back to Idaho in 1945.
Not only was Mrs. Logue the world's best cook but she
was always there after school with good smells in her kitchen. She grew and
canned a huge garden, raised chickens and even did an engine ring job on
the Model A Ford.
The Logues left the ranch in 1954 to travel and work
for MacGregor Triangle construction. 1972 found them retiring to Emmett,
Idaho, after a few years with Boise Cascade Construction. Several of their
retirement years were spent picking fruit and managing a fruit stand for
the Widding Johanson Orchards in Emmett. In 1985 they moved to Lyle, to be
near their kids.
Mrs. Logue is survived by her sons Bud and Dave; daughter
Afton; grandsons Norm White, Kenny White, Randall Robison, and Davie Logue;
granddaughters Lisa Mathias, Michele Freemantle, Teresa Wells; and niece
Teresa; 13 great-grandchildren and two great, great-grandchildren. She was
