Winifred Logan Obituary
AUBURN - Winifred E. (Sterling) Brierly Logan, 99, of Auburn, passed away Thursday, December 13, 2018 at the Overlook Masonic Home in Charlton, surrounded by her loving family.
Born at home in Millbury on March 8, 1919, she was the daughter of the late Ethel and James Sterling. Winifred grew up in Millbury, graduated from Millbury High School and Becker College of Secretarial Science.
Winifred was pre-deceased by her first husband, James Brierly in 1971, her second husband, John C. Logan in 2008, and her two sisters, Evelyn Gustafson King and Vietta Batcheller.
She is survived by her daughter, Jacquelyn Brierly, her grandchildren Thomas Brierly, Laurie Bent, and Wendi George, and her two great-grandchildren Ashley and Kyle George.
Winnie was an Auburn resident for over 50 years. She was a member of the Board of Directors of the Auburn District Nursing, a past president of the Auburn Woman's Club, and president of the President's Club. Winnie was also very active at St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
Many thanks to the staff at Overlook Masonic Home in Charlton, who cared for Winnie over the past ten years, and especially over the last few months. Their love was evident in the care they provided. Special thanks to Jennifer Johnson of Millbury for all the cards sent to Winnie every week during the last decade.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you perform a random act of kindness in Winnie's honor. You could pay it forward, visit someone in a nursing home or hospital, be kind to animals, or send a card to someone – any or all would be appreciated.

Jackie, Tom, Laurie & Wendy. Bill & I send our sympathy with saddened heart. She was a very special person. Share one special tidbit about our relationship. I make this wonderful mandarin orange jello salad. She loved it and asked for the recipe. Then she proceeded to tell me that I could not make it for the church suppers anymore because she was going to make it & she did. Every time I make it, I think of your Mom & laugh. We are also saddened that we will not be able to visit as we are still in FL. May God's strength and peace be with you all during this sad time. God Bless. June & Bill

Winnie was a big supporter of my Tri-Hi-Y group of girls for several years. Later we became close neighbors in Auburn. Winnie was a leader in the community with grace and believing the best in everyone. May God comfort her devoted daughter and grandchildren.

To Jackie and Family,
As I read your Mom's obituary tonight, I thought of the many years of friendship she had with my mother. They were high school friends and then planned many reunions through the years.
My sincere condolences go to you during this sad time.
May she Rest In Peace.
