Maurine Logan, 100, of Olathe, Kansas, passed away from the complications of old age on December 30, 2010, at her apartment in Cedar Lake Village in Olathe.
Maurine was born Esther Maurine Price on June 28, 1910, in Williamsburg, Kansas, to Jessie Nelson Price and William Henry Price. She was the oldest of their three children.
