Stefanie Logie obituary

My mother Stefanie Logie, who has died aged 101, was a passionate musical educator and charity volunteer.

Born into a cultured Jewish family in Berlin, Stefanie, known as Steffie, recalled a happy home life with her parents, Hedwig (nee Mosert) and Julius Pariser, a cloth merchant, and her elder sister, Leonie. Music came from her mother’s side: Steffie’s grandmother sang and her mother studied the piano at a conservatoire in the city, alongside Otto Klemperer. Steffie discovered a talent for the violin, although her ambition was to become a journalist.
