By obits

 

God gained another angel on Friday, June 18, when Mary Jo Howard-Logan went home to her family in the sky, greeted by them at the pearly gates where God welcomed his daughter home to Heaven and blessed her with the wings of an angel. She was born March 10, 1951, in Charleroi, daughter of Ernest Howard and Erma Frocheur Howard. She attended First Christian Church of Fayette City. The family would like to thank the Rev. Wayne Boring for his kind words and prayers and the staff at Eley/McCrory Funeral Home for their kindness and understanding in our time of sorrow. She is survived by her daughter, Stacy Ann Logan of Franklinton, N.C.; sister, Laurel (Richard) Prokopovitch of Perryopolis; brother, John (Janet) Howard of Charleroi; brother-in-law, Bob Gilpin of Eldora; nieces and nephews, RJ (Irene Rubosky) Prokopovitch of Belle Vernon, Danielle, Lexi and Allen Etling of Vanderbilt and Jennifer, Jeremy and Savannah Snipes of Mt. Morris, Mich. Our sweet angel was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Erma Gilpin. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to ELEY/MCCRORY FUNERAL HOME INC.
