Lori graduated from Central High School in May 1980. She married Dale Potter on June 12, 1982 in San Angelo, and then graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in Interior Design. She spent years in different fields of work and her diverse business ventures gave her the experience to master the field and helped her to create more lifelong friends.

Knew Lori for most of our lives. School, church, etc. She was always so friendly and genuinely caring. Our paths crossed intermittently over the years and even though time had passed she always greeted me as a dear friend. Probably saw her most at election polls! Even though your hearts are hurting and it is hard to imagine life without her, I am sure she has left you with an endless supply of happy memories! What a wonderful wife and mother!

Lori may have left us too soon, but she did a lot of living while she was here! We imagine Heaven is enjoying her infectious laugh and she's probably already shared a joke or two with Jesus.

I remember first meeting Lori, Dale. It was in a hospital room, years ago when it looked like you were the one that was going to be moving to Heaven. We had been in San Angelo just a short time and you and Darrell had only known one another a few weeks. Lori wisely threw aside protocol and dared to cross religious boundaries, contacting and urging any and everyone she could think of who might have faith, to come, gather around you, and pray for a miracle. Her humility and boldness was apparent and I remember thinking this is strong woman, who deeply loves her husband and family. And I wanted to know her.

Well, you know the rest of the story. Lori got her (your) miracle and God graciously allowed us all to develop a lasting friendship.

Though we'll miss her beautiful smile and great sense of humor, we are grateful for the friend and sister in Christ Lori will forever be.

Know that you are loved very much, Dale. We will always be praying for you and the family.

Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you and promise you that if you would believe and rely on Me, you would see the glory of God? John 11:40 AMPC

Happy dancing with you, sis! ❤
