Jane Logan Shea (Born: Emma Jane Logan) July 17, 1932 – August 14, 2024
Jane Logan Shea, born Emma Jane Logan on July 17, 1932, in Frontenac, Kansas, passed away peacefully on August 14, 2024, at Wellsprings of Westmoreland. She was 92 years old.
The daughter of Roy Delbert and Ellen West Logan, Jane grew up in Southeast Kansas, forming lifelong friendships that she cherished deeply. She was the youngest of four siblings, all of whom preceded her in death: Lois Gale, Ruth Alene, and Roy Delbert Logan Jr.
Jane attended Central Business College in Kansas City, where she met her best friend, Mary Ann Shea (Schumacher), now deceased. After completing her education, Jane worked as a secretary, eventually retiring in 1997 from Prairie States Marketing in Overland Park.
It was through Mary Ann that Jane met the love of her life, Loran Michael Shea. They married in 1972, and Jane quickly became an integral part of Loran’s life, endearing herself to his five children and becoming the beloved favorite grandparent to many grandchildren. She and Loran shared a deep bond, enjoying card games with friends, visits with grandchildren, and traveling to Loran’s Navy reunions. Jane remained devoted to Loran until his passing in 2005, never remarrying afterward.
In 2022, Jane moved to Wellsprings of Westmoreland, where she spent her final years. There, she found comfort in the camaraderie of Cork Schumacher, Mary Ann’s husband, and enjoyed frequent visits from her niece, Glenna Machin.
Jane is survived by her stepsons, Kelly Hilliard and Kirk (and wife Kathy) Shea; her daughter-in-law Barbara Shea; her grandchildren, Scott Canady, Eddie Phillips, Joshua Shea, Joanna Bidondo, Austin Shea, Stephen Shea, Matthew Shea, and Spencer Shea; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Loran Shea; her parents, Roy Delbert Sr. and Ellen West Logan; her stepchildren, Nancy Jo Phillips, Michael John Shea, and Patrick Steven Shea; and her siblings, Lois Gale, Ruth Alene, and Roy Delbert Logan Jr.
