Obituary of Eva Potter

Eva Louise Potter of Camrose formerly of Rosalind, passed away on Saturday June 22, 2013 at the age of 102 years. Eva Louise Potter was born December 19, 1910 at Edberg, Alberta, the third daughter of Harry and Clara Potter. In the fall of 1911 she moved with her parents to a farm near Rosalind, where she lived and worked on the farm until January 1964 when she and her mother moved to Camrose. Eva was instructed for Confirmation in the Christian Faith by Rev. Hoeffner at Rosalind and was baptized by Rev. Raedeke at Camrose. She was confirmed in August 1939. Eva's eyesight started to fail in 1978 and Eva said "when you can't drive you learn to walk." And walk she did, many years, many miles. When Eva was 92 she moved from her own home to Bethany Care where she resided at Louise Jensen until her passing. It was Eva's dream to live to be 100, to be the oldest of her relatives. She achieved this milestone and passed away June 22, 2013 at 102 years 6 months. She was predeceased by her parents; infant sister Mabel; brother Vernon "Bud" Potter; sisters Mae Berke, Ferne Twichell and Mildred Anderson Flemming. She is survived by her nieces, nephews, and many friends. A funeral service was held on Wednesday June 26, 2013 at 1:00pm from the Grace Lutheran Church Camrose, with Pastor Greg Kjos officiating. Interment has taken place in the Melville Cemetery, Kelsey. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Grace Lutheran Church or to a charity of one's choice.
