At her commencement, the presenter, the Honorable Carol A. Corrigan, Associate Justice for the California Supreme Court said, "Jane G. Logan is a woman of tremendous talent and unbounded generosity. She was not a daughter of wealth or privilege, but she has made of her life a triumph, because of her great caring for those in need. Jane and her beloved husband Rock Logan were simply not the kind of people who sat on the sidelines. They rolled up their sleeves, called their friends and got busy working to make the world a better place." Her family that remain believe that she has left the world in a better place too. Mrs. Logan's body will be laid to rest beside her husband, her mother and her father in Selma, AL. Her memorial and burial will be private.
