Anna Mae Logan (Lamebear) passed away on March 31,2026. Born in Heart Butte, Montana on April 22, 1948 to Thomas Lamebear and Nancy Gaurdipee.

During her time at the Manpower program, she met her husband Buck in Oakland where she worked as a secretary. She moved to Wautek in 1978. She was a summer camp counselor for NCIDC, and a cook at Jack Norton School. Her peach pies were the best. She supported her husband while he was commercial fishing. She learned basket weaving from Eleanor Logan and Ollie Foeside. One of her baskets is displayed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.  She learned all the traditional ways of the Yurok people due to the mentoring she received over the years. 

She only fished with her husband once, and he told her, “to get out of the boat.” She responded with , “I will.” And she never got back in.

She enjoyed BBQ with family at Blue Creek and Patrick’s Point. She was a trusted mother and wife, who often took care of her family business.

She was well respected by the community that she called home. Having three sons to raise wasn’t always easy but she was a great mom.

Preceded by her loving husband Buck Logan, sisters Bernice Whitequills, Frances Trimbli, Delma Martinson, and grandson William Logan Sr. 

She is survived by brother Tom Lamebear Jr., sons Shawn Logan Sr., John Logan III, Rafey Logan, grandchildren “lil” Shawn , Chemooch, Mikayla, Finley, Sly, “lil” Buck, Fawn, Izzabella, Keet-Kay, Mavaney , Zachariah, grace; great-grandchildren John, William Jr, Wesomet, Orchid, and Oscar Jr., and numerous nieces and nephews.

Special thank you to Susan McNeal-Nix and all who were a part of her life.

Wake will be held on Monday April 6, 2026, and celebration of life will be held on Tuesday April 7, 2026, at 1 p.m. at the Johnson Indian Shaker Church with a potluck to follow.
