Rae Gennine Smith Logan, of Chattanooga, TN, passed away to be with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ on November 2, 2021. Rae was born on April 6, 1937 in Elmira, NY.  She is preceded in death by her son Edward Bigg; parents Hazel Louise Carpenter Smith and Max L. Smith; and siblings Lois, Dale, Reid, Dawn, and Phyllis.

Survivors include her children Pam Gaither (Bob), Andrew (Nicole) Logan, and Scott Logan; grandchildren Kalen Bigg, Ashlyn Wray-Schlatter (Patrick, children Allayah and Arlo), Maddie Logan, Andrew Logan, Olivia Logan, and Lydia Grace Logan; all of whom she loved very much.

She left behind Trinity Lutheran church where she was a member for 44 years and volunteered in many areas including youth groups, Word and Witness, Altar Guild, and Helping Hands.  Church was her foundation and she lived a life of faith and hope.

Giving made her happy.  She was an avid seamstress and loved to do yarn work making hats, mittens, blankets, and potholders, for family, friends, and neighbors. Christmas was one of her happiest seasons and she loved putting home-made items under the tree for her children and grandchildren.

She loved sculpting her yard with flower beds and garden beds for shrubs.  Yard work was her serenity and she often enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature.  She loved working and being productive which gave her life purpose.  She retired from McLane Company as a District Manager.

Rae will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, Rae has asked that donations be made to Trinity Lutheran Church in Hixson, TN.

A visitation will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Hixson, TN on Tuesday, December 21 ^st from 10:00 to 11:00 AM followed by a celebration of Rae's life at 11:00.  Those unable to attend may participate in the service on Facebook Live at:  Trinity Lutheran –Worship Central!
