FALLS VILLAGE —  Jean Marie (Logan) Lee, 84, of Falls Village (formerly of South Attleboro, Mass.), passed away peacefully, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her adoring family on Jan. 1, 2021.  

She was the beloved wife of Robert E. Lee, to whom she was wed for the past 59 years.

Born in Attleboro, Mass., on April 13, 1936, she was a loving daughter of the late Georgiana A. (Lumnah) and Vincent H. Logan. She was predeceased by her sister, Margaret J. Warchal; and brother, Walter B. Logan.

Jean grew up in Attleboro and was a 1954 graduate of Attleboro High School. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. 

She worked for more than 37 years as office manager for College Hill Bookstore/Dulgarian Properties in Providence, R.I. As Kenneth Dulgarian so eloquently put at her retirement party in October of 2017, “Jean was the calm in every storm!” And that is how Jean lived her life: calmly with an abundance of dignity and grace.

Jean enjoyed traveling and went on numerous trips and cruises with her husband. She enjoyed reading, dining out, playing cards and keeping in regular touch with friends, going all the way back to her high school years.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her loving children, Robert E. Lee Jr. and his wife, Mary-Anne of Hudson, Ohio, and Cynthia (Lee) Conklin of Falls Village; her four grandchildren, Brigid and Connor Lee of Hudson, Melissa Rabbitt and her husband, Adam Lomazoff, of Waltham, Mass., Jaime Lee Conklin of New Haven, Conn.; and her two great-grandchildren, Greyson and Cooper (of Waltham, Mass.); and several nieces and nephews.

Her Catholic Funeral Mass, which relatives and friends are cordially invited to attend, will be celebrated in the Spring of 2021 (date to be determined). 

Those wishing to may remember Jean with a donation to Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Litchfield County, 32 Union St., Winsted, CT 06098.
