A PENSIONER murdered in her home will be remembered for her 'kind heart', her funeral has been told.

About 190 people gathered at Leven Parish Church for a service to remember 82-year-old grandmother Mary Logie, also known as Rae, who was found dead in her flat in January.

Reverend Gilbert Nisbet led tributes to widow Mrs Logie, describing her as a “friendly, outgoing and kind lady”. But he said the town was still struggling with what had happened.

He said: “Rae had a kind heart and she was always willing to go the extra mile to be helpful.

“She cared for those she assisted and continued to visit them after she retired.

“Rae was able to look back with quiet pride and genuine satisfaction on all that she did through her working life.”

Born and brought up in Methil, she worked in a local chemist after leaving school and before meeting her husband Walter.

She was married for 33 years and the couple had two sons and a daughter. Mrs Logie later worked as a part-time cleaner at a local photography business and as a home help, and was involved with the Church of Scotland Guild.
