Millie LOGAN

LOGAN, Millie
Age 84, lost her battle with COPD on September 2, 2013. She was the youngest of ten children born in Elk City, Idaho, and was a 1945 graduate of Grant Union High School in Portland, Oregon, and was accepted to Stanford. Millie loved life and people and, until her illness, always worked, played and entertained with the best of them. As a youth she loved jumping, racing and showing horses, steeplechasing and singing in a swing band. As a young adult she rode in motorcycle endurance races with the SF Bay City and other motorcycle clubs and she enjoyed water skiing, camping, hunting and fishing. Millie retired from Sacramento's Holiday Markets as their bookkeeper. She was a long time member of the Sacramento Horsemen's Association, loved riding her horse Suzi on the Acrade Creek horse trails and was well known for feeding, rescuing and fostering feral cats there. She was married for 31 years to her beloved Tom, who preceded her in death, as did her son Cliff Paulsen. She is survived and will be forever loved by her daughter, Linda Paulsen-Rippey (George), her sister Mary Eilers, and her step children, Jean Cassinerio (Ben), Judy Aviero, and Marty Logan (Lori). She will also be missed by her grandchildren, nieces and nephews, her Arkansas family and many wonderful friends.
