Sharon was born August 14, 1936 in Washington, Iowa, the second of four children of Lucian Orville Griggs and Ruth Virginia (Norton) Griggs. Sharon attended a one-room schoolhouse near West Chester through the eighth grade and graduated from Washington High School Class of 1954, where she was active in many clubs and cheerleading. She then attended Iowa State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Iowa, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education in 1957. Sharon married the love of her life, local boy and football star Jackson Logan on April 10, 1955. They were high school sweethearts and spent the next 64 years of wedded bliss together. Jack and Sharon had two children, Timothy "Tim" Logan and Paul "Andrew" Logan. After graduating from college, Sharon and Jack were both teachers. Sharon taught elementary school in the Arlington Public School system outside of Washington, DC beginning in 1958. In 1965, Sharon took a hiatus to begin a family, during which time Jack served in the US Army and various bureaucratic positions in Washington. While in Washington, they remodeled three homes on Capitol Hill. Greatly disturbed by the social unrest following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jack, Sharon and the boys moved to a farm in the cornfields outside of Marshall, Wisconsin in February of 1973. There they continued their love of construction and began renovating farmhouses. Over the course of the next decade, Jack and Sharon saved or built a dozen homes. Sharon later returned to teaching, completing the course work for a Masters in Special Education at UWW, teaching in Jefferson and Dane counties. For the next 20 years, Sharon poured her heart and soul into caring for local seniors at the Black Hawk. She came by it honestly, her maternal grandparents, William and Blanche Norton, ran the County Farm in Washington County, Iowa in the 1930s. Holidays were always an amazing family feast at the Black Hawk, from the huge Mother's Day brunches, Father's Day cookouts, family Thanksgivings to amazing Christmas parties for residents, family and friends. Sharon K. Logan was preceded in death by her husband, Jackson Lee (Jack) Logan, her parents Lucian Orville Griggs and Ruth Virginia (Norton) Griggs and fourteen brothers- and sisters-in-law: Cletus J. Kaska, Theo Logan, Kathryn (Logan) Clark, Maxine (Logan) Jones, Margery (Logan) Shew, John Logan, James Logan, Jay Logan, Clarence Shew, R. Paul Clark, Rhea (Buck) Logan, Carlin Jones, Mavis (Williamson) Logan and Ada (Schwenke) Logan. Sharon is survived by her son SFC Tim Logan, stationed on active duty with the US Army Reserve in Sumner, Washington; her son Andrew Logan, of Koshkonong; her dearest older sister Virginia (Griggs) Kaska of West Liberty; and her brothers Allen Griggs of Washington, IA and Larry Griggs of Clive, IA. She is also survived by her dear friends Susan Straus of Waunakee, WI; Deanne "Dee" Spolum of Madison; and favorite daughters-in-law Carol Ochsner of Monroe and Debbie (Ochsner) Thurber of Ashland; and many nieces and nephews.
