Linda Hendricks Logan

Linda Hendricks Logan 77, died on December 15th 2019 after living as an amazingly strong willed and very determined paraplegic. Linda was born on 7/4/1942 in Washington DC. Her late father Clifton Ashby Hendricks moved the family to Jay, Florida around 1946 when Linda was 4 years old. Linda always commented and was proud that she came from modest folks that cared for and loved her deeply. She admired them and spoke of them often. Her gratitude was evident when she spoke of her life changing vehicle accident that left her paralyzed as a paraplegic in 1962 as a 19 year old college student. She said her parents were the support system in her life and they helped her achieve her independence and goals. Linda also commented she was proud of her family in the Jay area who were mostly in Farming or Education. It would bring joy to her just reminiscing on the past. Linda graduated from the University of West Florida and began he career teaching at Jay Elementary School. She eventually moved to Tallahassee, Florida and began a career as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for the State of Florida. She met and married her late Husband Allen Logan a WWII veteran and Lobbyist for issues surrounding Americans with Disabilities. He was a Quadriplegic that developed from Polio during Adulthood. She was a loyal caregiver as well as a committed advocate for the disabled community in Florida. Her courage, determination and commitment defined her personally and professionally.
