March 6, 1977—August 16, 2020
SAUK CITY - Christina “Chris” D. (Hedrick) Logterman, age 43, of Sauk City, formerly of Sparta/Norwalk, Wisconsin, passed away suddenly, of natural causes, Sunday, August 16, 2020, at the Sauk Prairie Hospital. She was born March 6, 1977, to Jerome Paul and Carolette (Young) Hedrick.
Christina attended Norwalk Elementary, Sparta Middle School and Sparta High School where she graduated in 1995. She attended UW-Madison where she graduated with a School of Education Bachelor’s Degree in 2000. She then went to UW-La Crosse where she graduated with a Master’s Degree in College Student Development and Administration in 2004.
Christina and Jason Logterman were married June 12, 1999 at St. John’s, Summit. Christina and Jason had two children, Samuel and Ella. She and Jason were later divorced, but always remained close friends.
Christina has been part of the UW-Madison academic advising community for nearly a decade. She worked for several departments, including School of Nursing, School of Letters and Science before her current position serving as Student Services Coordinator and undergraduate academic advisor for the English Department.
She was an active member of her church and was involved with many of her children’s activities. She was a proud Godmother to Kathryn Hedrick, Peyton Theisen, Alla Hedrick and Nathan Degner. Although she had such an outstanding career and was active within her community, her children were her pride and joy.
While the youngest of five, Christina exhibited a level of courage, leadership and determination envied by her family and friends. When she saw that something was needed to be done, she stepped in to take care of it before others even realized the need. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, and the community. She spent many weekends with her nieces and nephews; time they will treasure for the rest of their lives. Christina will be sorely missed, but she lives on through her children and the positive impact she has had on all the lives that she touched.
Christina is survived by her children, Samuel and Ella; mother, Carolette Hedrick; brother, Michael (Amy) Hedrick; sisters, Theresa (Eric) Theisen and Julie (Mark) Degner; sister-in-law, Susan Hedrick; nieces and nephews, Andrea (Ryan) Martin, Kathryn (Ian Bohn) Hedrick, Samuel Hedrick, Anthony “Manny” Hedrick, Lexie, Alla, and Luci Hedrick, Scott Path, Peyton, Brady, and Delaney Theisen, Nathan and Sydney Degner; her cousin and best friend, Alyssa Young; the father to her children, Jason Logterman; along with many other relatives and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Jerome Paul Hedrick on August 11, 2020; and her brother, James Hedrick in 2010; along with her grandparents, several aunts and uncles.
A Private Family Mass of Christian Burial for Chris and her father, Jerome Paul Hedrick, will be held Friday, August 21st, 2020. Burial will follow on Summit Ridge, St. John’s Cemetery, rural Norwalk.
