Jimmy Logsdon Obituary

Jimmy Logsdon, 87, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at Signature Healthcare of Elizabethtown.

Jimmy was born July 7, 1937, in Pearman, Kentucky.

Jimmy was the son of Aud and Odline Powell Logsdon. Jimmy's siblings, Herchell (Toe), Jeraldine, Alma Dale, Larry, Gary and Evelyn Logsdon, preceded him in death.

He is survived by his wife, Helen Logsdon of Cecilia; one son, Tim (Gayla) Logsdon of Leitchfield; one daughter, Sherry Logsdon of Elizabethtown; one granddaughter, Amy Jaggers of Elizabethtown; three grandsons, Ryan (Melanie) Jaggers of Eastview, Kyle Jaggers of Elizabethtown and Chad (Jessi) Logsdon of Louisville; eight great-grandchildren, Kyler Goodman, Kylee and Kyndle Jaggers of Elizabethtown, Rylan and Charlston Jaggers of Eastview and Truman, Olso and Rhett Logsdon of Louisville. Two sisters, Barbara Mahurin of Tousey and Sue Edwards of Short Creek, also survive. Jimmy's family also includes many nieces and nephews.

Jimmy spent his life selling cars and dancing. When he wasn't doing one, he was doing the other. Jimmy called square dances every Saturday night until just a few years ago.
