Jean Catherine (Irvin) Logan, age 79, died surrounded by her loving family on March 5, 2022 after a long illness. She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald E. Logan and brother, John Joseph Irvin. Born in Washington D.C. in 1943, Jean was the daughter of Elizabeth Frances Harper and William Howard Irvin.

She adored her daughter’s husband, Joe Footen, and Teresa’s husband, Anthony Shakir and especially appreciated their visits, and those of her grandson, Jeffrey, during her final months. Jean also benefited from the love and support of her son-in-law, David Musick, Jr. Jean was treasured by her friends and family and could always be counted on to lighten the moment with something funny to say.
