Celebrating the Life of Karen Logan

6/26/2026

12 Comments

 
​It saddens me to tell you that Karen Logan, our Communication Chair, recently passed away.

For those of you who knew her, you have lost a treasured friend.  For those of you who didn’t understand how often she touched your life, you should know who she has always been.

  • The emails that you have been getting from NW – she sent them.
  • The web site that you have been referring to all these years, which is loaded with tons of information, she helped create and maintains that.
  • The Membership Application you fill out, she processes it and shares that information with those of us who need it.
  • For emails that you send to PVENWBoard, she answers them – and shares that information.
  • The Street Meets –she created that.
  • Neighbors Meeting Neighbors – she created that.
  • The speakers at City Council Meetings, they are there because of her.
You know us as PVE Neighborhood Watch – but without Karen, you wouldn’t even know we exist.
She branded us.
She made our presence known.
She blessed us with her dedicated presence for more years than I’m even aware of.  She was an early member, a Block Captain, Area Coordinator for Valmonte, Secretary, Treasurer, and President.  And she has been our voice.

Whenever you “See Something, Say Something”  – you do it for Karen.

Valerie Gorsuch
President, PVE Neighborhood Watch

Karen was a neighbor and an active member of our Valmonte Grove Association. She created our data base and computerized our directory. Karen was a giver in every sense of the word and everything she touched was better becasue of her. I feel luck to have known her but mourn that she was taken from her family so young. My heart goes out to her loved ones. She was a special lady. With love.

We first met Karen when we moved to Via La Selva in 2018.
We volunteered together on behalf of Measure E.(PVE police)
She was a lovely, sincere woman who worked hard and devotedly
on behalf of our community. Her passing is a real loss for us.
Always

We are so very sad to hear of Karen's passing, she was so kind and giving of her time for NW. I remember when she knocked on our door and introduced herself while promoting the police department years ago! Our neighborhood will never be the same without her.
Sending prayers to her family.

Karen was the sweetest person who worked tirelessly for the benefit of Palos Verdes Estates. Karen attended city meetings promoting Neighborhood Watch and funding for our PVE PD.
Her warmth and dedication will never be forgotten.

I'm heartbroken to hear of Karen's passing. I first met her in 2018 as we worked together on a ballot measure. I was struck by her cheerful dedication to this city and her ability to welcome new people. She was someone plugged into our community, an invaluable resource of knowledge with a tireless desire to help. Hers is a deep loss. My sincere condolences to her family.

To know Karen was to experience someone completely authentic. She always "gave it to you real," but she did it with an infectious positivity and a relentless drive to bring people together. Karen didn’t just live in our community—she wove the fabric of it.

Karen's true passion was human connection. Programs like "Street Meets" and "Neighbors Meeting Neighbors" weren't just initiatives to Karen; they were a reflection of her core belief that we are safer, stronger, and happier when we know one another. She used her voice, her tech skills, and her massive heart to build the bridges that link us all today.

Karen branded our community's watch, but more importantly, she united our neighbors. Thank you for touching my life and the lives of so many here . . .Every time we connect with a neighbor or look out for one another, we are keeping Karen’s beautiful legacy alive.

Always positive in her outlook, Karen worked tirelessly for the City. During the Doors Open Peninsula event in 2024 she graciously welcomed people to Mirlo Gate Lodge - as excited as the long line of people waiting to get in. I will always remember her smile especially when she was on her Pedego enjoying her rides around PV.
