Marilyn Hugie Wayman passed away peacefully on October 24, 2026, at the age of 96, according to an obituary published October 28. Born in Logan, Utah, Wayman was a longtime resident of the College Ward community.
Wayman was born on January 16, 1930, to Merrill V. and Della Hansen. She was the second of six children, including Doris, Norma, Grace, Ellen, and Merv. Her upbringing during the Great Depression was marked by resourcefulness, such as sharing a single bicycle or dress for Christmas with her sisters.
Wayman was married to Rex Hugie, with whom she raised five sons: Jeff (Dawnita), Craig (Tanya), Bryon (Shelly), Brett (Julie), and Steven (Monica). She also frequently welcomed the friends of her children into her home, often having several extra children at her dinner table.
Following the passing of Rex Hugie, Wayman married Russell Wayman in Dallas, Texas, in 2000. The couple shared 16 years of marriage until Russell's death in 2016.
Wayman's life was largely centered in Logan, Utah, with the exception of a brief period spent in Pocatello, Idaho. She was known to find joy in quiet pleasures, such as observing winter snowfall from her window.
The family expressed appreciation for the staff at Maple Springs for the care provided to Wayman. They also noted the importance of the many visits received from lifelong friends during her life.
A visitation for family and friends is scheduled for Thursday, October 29, from 10:30 to 11:00 at Allen-Hall Mortuary, located at 34 East Center Street in Logan, Utah. Following the visitation, a private graveside service for the family will be held at Providence Cemetery per Wayman's wishes.
