(From Simpson Funeral Home)With a heart as courageous and spirited as a marching band on the Fourth of July, Lee "Toni" (Bess) Logan danced her way into the world on September 1, 1957, in Portageville, MO.
Her generous nature, supportive attitude, and quick wit combined to form the kind of person you felt lucky to know. Standing at a mere 4'10", she was a proverbial drill sergeant with a sparkling sense of humor. Generously sharing her love, laughter, and wisdom with everyone (like it, or not), Lee was the heart and soul of her family, the glue that held them all together. She passed away at Mercy Hospital Joplin on January 23, 2025 with her son by her side.
Lee's zest for life extended beyond the confines of her loving home in Webb City, Missouri, where she resided for 35 years. She dedicated 29 years of her life as a dispatcher most recently for Triple AAA Taxi in Joplin, before hanging up her headset in 2017. But it was her hobbies that showcased the depth of her creativity and passion. A lover of painting, reading, and sewing, Lee was also a violinist, her music filling the air with the kind of magic you could only find in heartfelt melodies. She previously attended Emmanuel Baptist Church in Webb City. Her faith was as beautiful and unwavering as her love for the famous "Footprints in the Sand" poem. Lee married Brent Logan on June 6, 1988 in Miami, OK.
"In every situation [God] has put me, in every mountain He has asked me to climb, He has said. 'Trust me. I will never let you down.'" - Charles Stanley.
Lee is survived by her daughters Adria (Justin) Trombley of Rogers, AR and Latosha of Durant, OK; her son Shane (Latisha "Tish") Logan of Webb City; grandchildren Jackson Trombley, Aubry, Launa and Rylan Logan, and Lizann Lalley; and her sister Rayla (Jim) Kanakis of Joplin. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lee and Margaret Bess.
A Celebration of Life honoring Lee's life will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 1pm at Simpson Funeral Home in Webb City. A memorial visitation will be held from noon until service time at the same venue. Services are under the personal care and direction of Simpson Funeral Home.
