Norma Potter Obituary

Potter, Norma
Rochester: Age 83, passed away peacefully on Friday morning at the Benincasa in Mendon. Norma is survived by her daughter, Donna Hickey of Dallas, TX; and her sons, Lee and Mark of Mendon, NY and Fairfield, CT. Norma was blessed with 7 grandchildren and 5 great-grand-children. She was predeceased by Orville Potter, her husband of 50 years, in 2002.
Norma and Orville met while working at Eastman Kodak. They were married in 1952 and raised their family in the Rochester area before moving to Florida in 1977. A true Rochester native, Norma returned to her hometown in 2002, and lived a very active life during her later years. Throughout her life, Norma was an inspiration to everyone she met. Norma always found opportunities to brighten the lives of others and comfort loved ones with her positive spirit. Your family and the many friends you leave behind will all miss you, Norma, as you move on to your "Next Great Adventure". God bless you.

Lee and Family members. Norma was my friend and a special lady. I will miss her and cherish the times we spent together at Dr. Angel's, out to eat or at her home. Norma, Frieda and myself sure enjoyed our times together. Your mom loved her Lord and church. Remembering Christmas Eve 2007 and the Bible verse, John 3:16.
