Logan, Utah: Charlotte Lucille Madsen died on Monday, May 5, 2008, at Williamsburg Retirement Center at the age of 87.

She was born on September 4, 1920 to Charles and Edna Sayers. She grew up in Belgrade, Montana, with her four sisters: Mildred, Helen, Betty and Alice. There were also two brothers: Don and Bill (deceased). They were a fun-loving, close knit family.

She met and married a young cowboy name Joe Madsen, who had come to Montana to work on a ranch. They were married on February 15, 1941, and honeymooned on a cattle drive. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple. Joe died in 1993.

In 1946, they moved their three little girls from Montana to Logan where Joe’s family lived.

Charlotte was an excellent seamstress and worked for several years at the Logan Knitting Mills, sewing ladies’ designer clothing. In 1961, she began a 22-year career as a drivers license examiner. She retired in 1983.

She is survived by her three daughters: Barbara Jo (Theron) Burgess of Corvallis, Oregon, Edna (Doug) Eames of Logan, Utah, and Connie (Michael) Keller of College Park, Maryland. She has ten grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.

For many years she has been an avid Utah Jazz fan. At the end of each game she relived each play with friends and sisters.

For the past five years she has lived at Williamsburg where she made many friends. She loved the staff there. We thank them for their kindness and excellent care, especially Kimette Smith.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, May 9, 2008 at the Allen-Hall Mortuary. A viewing will be held on Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Allen-Hall Mortuary and prior to services on Friday beginning at 10:00 AM. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at Allen Mortuaries.
