A graveside service will be held on Sunday, August 23, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. for Mrs. Geneva "Kitty" Logan, age 98, of Richton, at Mount Comfort Cemetery in Bruce, MS. Mrs. Logan passed away on August 19, 2020, in Ellisville, MS. Rev. Ronney Joe Webb will officiate the service.
Geneva "Kitty" Logan was born in Newart, Arkansas, on July 23, 1922, and died on August 19, 2020, at the age of 98 in Ellisville, MS. At an early age the family moved to Clinton, Louisisana. As a senior in high school, she moved to Bruce, Mississippi. So you might say she was born an Arkansas "hillbilly", raised a Louisiana "Cajun", and lived her adult life as a Mississippi "redneck".
While in Bruce she married A.C. Logan. Eventually they moved the family to Laurel, Mississippi. She lived in Laurel from 1952 until 1967 when they moved to Richton, Mississippi. She was married to A.C. Logan for more than 50 years and raised four children.
In Laurel she participated in many civic activities. She was a member and president of the Radiance Garden Club, became a qualifying flower show judge, was a member of the Chrysanthemum Society, was a certified Red Cross Nurse, a volunteer at the Laurel General Hospital, a Girl Scout leader, a professional seamstress, and a cosmetologist. She won many ribbons and awards for her flowers and flower arrangements.
In Richton she was a faithful member of the Richton United Methodist Church, serving as Sunday School teacher, Women's Circle President, and many other offices of the church. She was a member of the Local Homemaker's Club, winning local and state awards for her sewing abilities. She was an accomplished quilt maker. She made quilts for all her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
She also owned and operated a commercial greenhouse, wrote weekly articles for the Richton Dispatch, all while being an organic gardener and craftsman. In her spare time, she volunteered once a week at the Good Shepard's Clinic in Laurel, Mississippi.
She is survived by her daughters, Martha Jane Johnson of Laurel, MS, June (Marcus) Stennett of Richton, MS, and her two sons, Michael Louis (Diana) Logan of Smyrna, TN, and Clyde Lee Logan of Laurel, MS. She had nine grandchildren, twenty-three great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Richton United Methodist Church memorial fund or the Good Shepard Clinic, Laurel, MS.
