ObituaryBurlyce Logan
Burlyce Logan (’11), Denton. She was one of the first Black students who attended
North Texas when it desegregated in 1956, and then dropped out – but returned and
earned her bachelor’s degree in applied arts and sciences at age 73. When she first
attended North Texas, Logan enjoyed her music classes but left after two years because
of the harsh prejudice from other students. She moved to California and Oregon, where
she worked as a banker and secretary, before returning to Denton in 1996. She worked
in various places, including as an administrative assistant in the internal audit
department at UNT from 2001 to 2002. Read more about her life in these 2011 articles
from The New York Times and the North Texan. A funeral service will take place at Peoples Funeral Home at 2:30 p.m. April 30
in Denton.
