JONES CHARLES M. “JONES-E” Entered the Kingdom of the Lord on July 23, 2013. He lived an incredible and fulfilling life for 96 wonderful years. He was born in McKees Rocks Pennsylvania on November 29, 1916. After graduating high school, he spent one year at Pittsburgh University before being called to duty in World War II. He served from 1940 through 1945. During that time, he was decorated with three medals from World War II, consisting of the American Defense Service Medal/the Good Conduct Medal along with the European African Middle Eastern Service Medal with three Bronze Stars. After the War and some time working for the government, he started a 40 year career on the railroad. He worked from Pennsylvania to Florida. He finally retired in 1981 to reside in McKees Rocks, PA. He was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, a 32nd Degree Mason, and a 78 year member of the Elks Lodge. He was also a good member in standing with the Lodge Council, Chapter Consistory with the Scottish Rite Bodies in the Valley of Pittsburgh. He was a devoted Steeler and University of Pittsburgh Fan. He was also very fond of racing Pigeons for years in the McKees Rocks area. Charles touched and influenced countless lives during his many years he was with us. For those of us that were fortunate to to have come into contact with him, will always remember his favorite sayings of “Act Sharp, Look Sharp and Be Sharp” and “it only takes a little to out work the other guy”. Jonse-E had an incredible area of friends that he enjoyed seeing in McKee's Rocks at the Eat N Park and Rudy's. Guss you will be missed, along with all of his close friend at the Veterans of Foreign Post 418 and the American Legion. Special Thanks to all of his neighbors, June Elizabeth, Bill and Cindy Dawkins, Judy Engle, Kim and Sarah, Tracy and Ronald Pederson, and John and Karen Trimmer for watching over him during these trying times these last few months. He will be greatly missed in Florida during the Holidays as he always brightened everybody's lives down south during the winter months.

Charles was preceded in death by his father and mother, John and Pearl Jones; a sister, Bernadette Schreck; brother, Clarence Jones; and special friends, Matrha Lou Bennett and Mickey McCune. Charles traveled extensively all around the world, enjoying Germany the most. He enjoyed taking cruise's going to Atlantic City or just sitting back enjoying the sunset with a fine Manhattan. Charles had a special place in his heart for little ones. He always had a two dollar bill at the ready for a little one who he would give to start their college fund. Many times he had never even met them just thought how cute they were and wanted to do something nice. He was so genuine in his love for children. For all of us that knew him at that age we were truly blessed. I am sure right now he is probably handing out two dollar bills up in heaven to a little Angel.

LOGSDON MARGIE April 24, 1946 to July 19, 2013. Margie Logsdon meant so much to so many. There are not enough words or space to state how much she was loved. She was a loving daughter to her deceased parents, Harry and Dorothy (Barrett), and sister to Helen Dunn, also deceased. Margie is survived by her brother, Bill (Janet Tkach); her sisters, Dot Sheehan (Jim), Barbara Logsdon (Rodney Rowe); and a multitude of nieces, nephews and cousins. Margie had an endless number of friends from all walks of life. If you asked any of her friends or family what was so special about Margie, they would all say it was her eternal Joie de Vivre (Joy of Life) and her quiet, unassuming style. Margie was, at heart, an English teacher but also a dedicated coach in both basketball and golf. She taught at Sacred Heart High School from 1969 until its closure in 1989, when she fittingly led her Sacred Heart Blue Flames to the PIAA Basketball State Championship Title. Following the closure of Sacred Heart, Margie went on to teach English at Oakland Catholic High School from 1989 until 2003, when she accepted a position at Carlow University. She was passionate about her teaching and about her students. She also coached at McKeesport High School and Indiana University of PA. During the 90s, after Margie had retired from coaching, she took on a new challenge. She decided to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh. As with everything she did, she took it to a successful completion. She earned the title of “Dr. Logsdon”, a title she deserved, but never used. Upon completion of her doctorate, Margie accepted the faculty position of Director of Educational Leadership in 2003 at Carlow University, where she continued until her retirement in 2009. Margie was an avid golfer and loved to compete. She wasn't so much interested in competing with her golfing friends as she was at competing with herself. She would often say: “Three holes to play- three pars to get.” And she usually got them! Margie was well-known among her friends and family as a rescuer of the countless abandoned cats and their offspring that were left in the alley behind her house. She provided food, shelter, and veterinary care. Whenever possible, she placed them into loving homes. Margie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2007. An article appeared in the CAREGIVER magazine in the winter of 2008. The article opened with a quote from Margie: “Be proactive, be persistent and take responsibility for your life.” She didn't just utter these words, she lived them. Margie learned everything she could about her disease, and she actively contributed to her wellness. After undergoing chemotherapy, radiation and major surgery, Margie fought her way back to a normal life. She was thrilled to be well enough to compete in the PA Senior Golf Olympics in York, PA the following year. Not only did she compete, but she also won the gold medal and the right to compete in the Olympics in San Francisco. Margie embraced life, even when pancreatic cancer struck and continued to do so every day forward. She had an uncanny ability to get her family and friends to do the same. Margie often quoted Thornton Wilder: “Does anyone ever realize life – every minute of it?” The answer is; YES, Margie, you did. Arrangements by: BALL FUNERAL CHAPEL, INC.
