Patrice Marie Logan

Patrice - aka Pat, ‘Patrick’, never ever Patty! - Marie (Carrabine) Logan was born in a suburb of Cleveland, OH to Olive (Newman) Carrabine and Richard Carrabine, into a household that already included brothers Tim, Rick, and Kevin. Younger brother Terry came along two years later. Nevertheless, she survived and thrived, eventually graduating from Magnificat High School in 1971. Pat’s high school friends can attest that Pat was never really college material, but she possessed a strong work ethic and she made her way in the world as a worker, and a damn good one she became! While still living in N. Ohio, she provided tremendous help and support to her younger brother Terry when parents Dick and Olive retired to Sarasota, FL and her three other sibs were off doing their own thing. In 1975, she met John Logan and they married in 1976. John was offered a job in Jacksonville FL, they moved there in 1978, and soon their sons Jason and Ryan became the focus of Pat’s life. She spent many hours involved in their school and after school activities, doing her best to raise smart and kind children. When Pat and John divorced in 1992, Pat moved to the ‘beach’ (first Jacksonville Beach, then Neptune Beach) and soon gathered a gaggle of friends who cared deeply for her. Professionally, she moved easily into work as an essential employee of a building management company and eventually was recruited to work for a title and mortgage company. This is the work Pat continued to do until she retired in the early 2020s. She was passionate about doing a great job, attending to details, and not suffering fools, both in and out of work. Pat showered her two grandchildren, Eden and Callan, with abundant love; she did the same with her sons and their wonderful wives. Family was very important to Pat, and she did her best to keep her sibling bonds intact and strong. As the only sibling living in Florida, she did yeowoman’s work helping care for father Richard and mother Olive as they dwindled in later years. Pat herself suffered many medical indignities and threats to her health as she aged. Always, and in many cases unbelievably, she bounced back with a fortitude and spirit that many of us could not fathom. In the end, an unfortunate consequence of a medical procedure led to her untimely death. The family is so appreciative of all the efforts undertaken by the staff at Baptist Beaches and Baptist Health Downtown hospitals to care for Pat in her final days. Pat is survived by sons Jason Logan (Alexandria), Ryan Logan (Carol), grandchildren Eden Logan and Callan Logan (Jason) and siblings Timothy, Richard Jr, Kevin, and Terry and ex John Logan. Per her wishes, Pat was cremated and no immediate service is planned. How to honor her? Pat was a ‘pay it forward’ kind of gal and would often pay for the food that a person in a drive through line behind her would order, then drive away, leaving the stunned driver in silent appreciation. She would want you to do the same.
