Maybelle "Jerry" Rose Logan
May 9, 1924 - March 20, 2026
Maybelle “Jerry” Rose Logan, age 101, passed away on March 20, 2026, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
She was born on May 9, 1924, in Santa Ana, California, to Herdie Lee Gray and Lena Ann Jones Gray. Jerry lived a long and vibrant life, spending the past 54 years in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she built a strong community and countless memories with family and friends.
Jerry married the love of her life, John Joseph Logan, on December 14, 1940, and they shared 32 years of marriage, raising three children. Throughout their marriage, they traveled the country, visiting national parks, camping, and hiking. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Joseph Logan, along with their sons, John William Logan and James Leroy Logan; her brother, James Lee Roy Gray; and her parents.
Following John’s passing, Jerry found companionship with Tony Weber. They shared 36 years together, enjoying bingo, square dancing, and cheering on the UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball team. Through this relationship, she also embraced Tony’s children—Dan Weber, Patty Perida, Linda McCarney, and Janet Weber—as part of her extended family.
She is survived by her daughter, Joyce N. Stivers, and son-in-law, Steve Stivers; her daughter-in-law, Chris Logan; her grandchildren, Jim Logan, David Logan, Greg Logan, Kalynn Amundson, Bryan Amundson, John Logan, and Ryan Logan; and dozens of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren who will continue to carry her memory forward.
As a young woman, Jerry was proud to be part of the World War II generation, serving as one of the original “Rosie the Riveters.” She worked on the bomb bay section of B-52 bombers, contributing to the war effort with determination and skill—fittingly, with her own middle name, Rose. She went on to build a successful career as an accountant, beginning at Helzberg Jewelers and later serving as an auditor for the IRS, where she ultimately retired.
Jerry was full of life and known for her independence, humor, and sense of adventure. For her 90th birthday, she took a solo road trip to visit family across the country—keeping her cash tucked safely in a Bible in the trunk and singing Onward Christian Soldiers along the way. She also loved game shows and enjoyed the challenge of playing along to keep her mind sharp.
Jerry was the family’s “kinkeeper,” never forgetting a birthday, anniversary, or holiday, and faithfully sending cards for every occasion. She especially loved the children and always made sure they had a gift to unwrap. Sweet, kind, and beloved by everyone she met, Jerry had a way of making people feel welcome and cared for.
Those closest to her meant everything. She was deeply loved, the heart of her family, and a true matriarch. With her passing, she leaves the torch to Joyce, carrying forward a heritage of strength, love, and connection. Her legacy lives on in the multitude of lives she touched.
A private interment will take place at Mount Washington Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest with her husband. Her Tree Tea will be spread at Evergreen Memorial Park, where her firstborn, John William Logan, is buried. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.
