Laura M. Logan

Laura Logan (Née - Laura Marie Hubbard) May 8, 1961 – July 8, 2017 On Saturday morning, July 8, 2017 Laura’s magnificent spirit was called from these earthly bonds by her Creator. Her valiant, courageous struggle with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma is over. We are sure Laura will continue her service to God as one of the brightest angels. She is the one with the wit and beguiling humor, the one with the gentle touch who reached out to help others, and who had a capacity for unselfish love that is preciously rare. Laura valued simplicity and a lack of pretense. She was the real deal. Laura is survived by her friend, helpmate, husband, and love, John Logan. He is certain she was the better half of him as they lived quiet lives at their Ballard Lake home and amongst the forest and waters of Star Lake. Laura gave John joy, trust, and devotion beyond compare. Through longing, misty eyes John can still see her working her flower garden, walking their beloved dogs, Elvis and then Jack, and sharing special moments at the home they built together. Smart, quick study, energetic Laura became a logistic expert in California and then in Las Vegas, Nevada developing and managing systems for El Portal, a major specialty item national retailer. After many years on the West Coast she returned to her native Minnesota for a brief, successful stint running a dog grooming business. After meeting John in 2004 she soon joined him in the Northwoods and returned to her logistics career, ultimately as Logistics Manager and part of the management team for Allied 100 in Woodruff. Laura was proud of her job and admired the founders of the company, Jon and Ken. Her dedication and bravery would be seen as she showed up at Allied to supervise her crew and “trouble shoot” with the other departments ignoring her remaining wisps of hair and the chemo pain that wracked her body. Laura was absolutely remarkable. In her private life, Laura touched the hearts and souls of many at the Community Church of Boulder Junction and in her community activities. She shared her own personal recovery as a friend of Bill W. with hundreds from California to Toronto. Laura was effective from the podium and across the kitchen table with her insight, directness, compassion, ability to cut to the chase, and infectious laugh. The countless days and hours she invested to help others to recover, asking nothing in return, exemplified her life as one of spiritual anonymity and as a follower of Christ. “Of myself I am nothing, the Father doeth the works” was more than a slogan to her. Laura is survived by her mother, Marjorie Carter (nee, Hall), her brother Steve Hubbard; her sister Cyndi Hall; and aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews … some of whom she devotedly raised for many years as a fill-in parent. She will also be deeply missed by dear friends from California, Nevada, Ontario, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and elsewhere. Laura magnanimously embraced John’s children and grandchildren as if they were her own. In time, they may understand like many others how their lives were touched and enriched by Laura Logan Obituary knowing her. (For reference, John’s roots are in Eagle River and Whitefish Bay, WI and Birmingham, MI) Laura is now with her Elvis. John asks her to put in a good word for Jack and himself for that time in God’s plan when they will reunite with her to continue their love story. “I love you”, he said. “I love you more”, she said. A simple, spiritual Memorial Service will be held in the near future at the Community Church of Boulder Junction. Further information on date and time will be available through appropriate venues and the Bolger Funeral Home in Minocqua. For those wishing to send flowers the family suggests doing so for the Memorial Service. ###
