POTEAT
SOUTHPORT — Argie Mae Sisk Poteat, 85 of Southport and formerly of King passed away on Tuesday, November 5, 2013 at Dosher Nursing Center where she had been a resident since January.
Mrs. Poteat was born November 6, 1927 and she celebrated her 86th birthday in heaven. She was born in Stokes County, the daughter of the late William Everett Sisk and Razzie Lee Smith Sisk. She was the most wonderful mother in the world; she had very bright eyes, and a smile that would win you over. She was big-hearted, generous and a loving person; she was known for helping other residents and her many friends at the nursing center. Mrs. Poteat was preceded in death by her husband Robert V. Poteat, and a sister, Pearle Ferguson.
Surviving is her son William R. Shelton, of Manhattan, New York; her daughter Deborah Shelton Bolduc and husband Frank of Southport; and three grandchildren.
A memorial service is being planned for a later date at her home in King.
The family would like to thank the staff of Dosher Nursing Center for the care and love given to Mrs. Poteat during her time there.

Dear Mom,
I miss you. I would not wish you back in our world in the
body that suffered so. Seeing you in pain, well it hurt me inside. Don't take me wrong--I was proud and honored to be with you, that is where I belong. I hope you found your family with no trouble--picturing you with them, body healed and happy, that's what I try to think of. But, you know me--dragon with a bone, as you used to say.
Thank you, Mom for all you did for me and your Son. And I am so sorry for ever hurting your heart. Being a Mom myself now, well, you know--our children have the power to pierce our heart with pain. They also have the power to bring such happiness, just by showing they love us as we love them.
I doubt you read the paper now, I guess I thought maybe it would help me somehow, to try and feel normal again without you.
I love you. Your Son loves
you, both of us, forever.
