Patricia (Throckmorton) Logan

Patricia Logan, 80, of Collierville, TN, formerly of Columbia, MD, left this world on Sunday, June 11, 2023. She was born on September 13, 1942, in Sewickley, to the late Edward Ezra "Red" and Carmelinda (Centoni) Throckmorton.  Patricia graduated from Quaker Valley High School in 1960 and graduated from Edinboro University in 1964. She went on to teach English for 37 years and won a Teacher's Appreciation Award and was entered into the Who's Who in American Teachers. During this time Patricia also earned the equivalent of two Master's Degrees in a variety of graduate courses, acted as an advisor to the National Honor Society and devoted extra time to student literacy magazines, pep squads, and was a creator and supervisor of many talent school nights. In addition to traveling throughout  the US, Canada, and Europe, she was an avid reader and writer of poetry, loved gardening, and will especially be remembered  for her fondness of telling jokes with friends and family, regularly followed by her side-splitting laughter. Preceding her in death in addition to her parents were her brothers, Adrian, James, and Thomas. She is survived by her beloved son Clifford R. Logan III, daughter-in-law, Becky, grandchildren, Emma, Sarah, Julia, and Jonathan of Arlington, Virginia, daughter, Mary Logan Mosner, son-in-law, David, and grandchild Eoin of Memphis, Tennessee, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews and her extended family and friends too numerous to mention. Friends will be received on Tuesday from 6-8 PM in the John Syka Funeral Home, Inc. 833 Kennedy Drive, Ambridge, where prayers will be offered on Wednesday at Noon, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:30 PM at Divine Redeemer Parish, St. James Church, 200 Walnut St., Sewickley. Interment will follow in St. James Cemetery, Sewickley Heights. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions are suggested to www.lieracypittsburgh.org.
