Obituary
Rita Anne Logan (Yager), age 65

Rita Ann Logan was born December 17, 1946 in Chicago, IL to Walter and Martha Ruth (Picquet) Logan. She married Mike Yager, son of Raymond and Gertrude Yager on May 31, 1970 at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Newton, IL.
Rita was a graduate of Eastern Illinois University and taught school at Teutopolis and Effingham, IL while co-founding their dream company Mid-America Designs. After being diagnosed with M.S., she was divorced and moved to Sainte Marie, IL the town her ancestors founded. There she led a quiet, private life and waged a courageous battle against M.S. She continued to take pride in Mike and Mid-America's growth, years after she was no longer affiliated with the business she had developed and given her support, heart and soul.
Rita is survived by her brother James (wife Eiko) Logan of Newton, IL; sister Patricia (husband Tony) Faller of Oblong, IL; three nieces and four nephews; loyal caregivers Diane Conover, Marsha Patterson, Sharon Reynolds and Angie Myers and many loyal friends.
