During that time Eddie Mae lived a life full of adventure, style and service.
As a member of the “Swinging Seniors”, she modeled at the Monsanto YMCA, where she also exercised. She was a sought after model at many church activities and the Colored Women’s Club. She Loved dressing up and showing up.
Eddie Mae also enjoyed beautifying her life with flowers and was recognized in the News for her lovely landscaped yard. Eddie Mae and her husband, Ben Logan (deceased) started the 5300-5400 Cabanne Block Unit and was President and Treasurer from its inception. Her neighbor, Adrienne Gaines stated “Eddie Mae was the neighborhood watchdog, forceful, tenacious in getting us to take the lead, she walked the block picking up trash and sighting anything and anyone suspicious.”
Eddie Mae worked tirelessly for Lane Tabernacle CME Church during her 62 years of membership on the Usher Board #1, the Missionary Society, the James L. Cummings Sunday School and the 1st Friday Prayer Group. She also worked for many causes such as the Alzheimer’s Memory walk shown with Congressman Clay, the NAACP Committee to host the National Convention and others, Operation Brightside, the Urban League Business School and the “Friends of the Cabanne Branch Library”. When asked, friends and associates would always describe her as feisty, a charmer, a real go-getter, hard worker, and one who brings dedication and fresh ideas to any task or organization. She lit up a room when she entered with her smile and charisma.
Eddie Mae’s proudest accomplishment was to send her three children to college experiencing several years with all three children in college at the same time, with all three graduating from the University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo., twin sons, Ralph and Roland Logan and daughter Veryle Logan Hudson. Eddie Mae was extremely family and friend oriented, baking gourmet meals and desserts for family, ministers, friends and anyone hungry.
Eddie Mae’s Services will be held on Monday 11/8/2010 at 10 AM Visitation, and 11 AM funeral at Lane Tabernacle CME Church, 910 N. Newstead Ave., St. Louis, MO 63108.
