Vivian H. Logan, age 92 of Wayne, died peacefully at home on Monday, January 23, 2012.
Vivian was born in Jersey City and graduated from high school there. She began working as a legal secretary in New York City before getting married. After moving to Packanack Lake in Wayne, she began working as a secretary with the Wayne Schools, first at Randall Carter Elementary and later as a guidance secretary at the previous Anthony Wayne Middle School. She retired in the early 1980’s after a career of more than thirty years.
After marrying her husband, John Logan, in the early 1940’s, they settled in Jersey City. They both desired to move out of the city area and find a more country setting to raise their two boys. They decided to take a ride up to the northern parts of Passaic County when, along the way, they saw a sign for “Packanack Lake”. Having never heard of it before, they turned off of Rt. 23 and followed the signs. They found exactly what they had been looking for and settled on Hillside Terrace, living there for over forty years. They loved Packanack Lake and everything it had to offer. Vivian was active with the club house, the Garden Club, and the Packanack Community Church.
Just after they retired to Tarpon Springs, Florida in 1975, her husband John fell ill and passed away in 1976. She moved back to Wayne and went back to work with the Wayne Schools before retiring officially in the early 1980’s. She maintained an active lifestyle in Tarpon Springs and was very involved with the Kirk of Dunedin Christian Church in Florida. She made some wonderful friends there and they sure didn’t sit still too much. She went walking all the time, line dancing, and travelling. She and her childhood friend Lillian Lyons traveled the world during their retirement, including Australia, Europe, and Japan. They also frequented the theatre, having lots of fun together. She made the best of it, living her retirement years with vigor.
Vivian is survived by her loving son James of Wayne, her grandchildren; Monica Goodwin and her husband Kevin of Wayne, and Scott Logan of Johnston, Rhode Island, three great-grandchildren; Kevin Jr., Jessica, and Nicholas Goodwin all of Wayne, and her beloved niece Gloria McMahon of Long Beach, Indiana. She was predeceased by her husband John Logan in 1976 and by her son Robert Logan of Wayne in 2011.
