Betty Jean Potts

1926 - 2016

August 27, 1926 - March 27, 2016 Betty Jean passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on March 27, 2016. She was born August 27, 1926 to John and Ethel Williams on the ranch of her grandfather, Emory (Rotten) Williams outside of Cascade, Idaho. She was one of eight children. Betty attended elementary school in Cascade and graduated from New Meadows High School, class of 1944. She married Floyd Potts on June 11, 1945. They had four children: Larry, Jerry, Ronald, and Judy. Betty worked as a homemaker, a waitress at CC Andersons (the Bon) in Boise, Idaho and worked three years at the Boeing Co. in Wash. Betty was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Floyd; sons: Larry and Ronald, and six siblings. She will be missed by her brother, Gordon (Velma) Williams; her son, Jerry (Janette) Potts; her daughter, Judy (Leroy) Brown; 10 grandchildren; numerous greats and special friends: Bud Peterson, Wanda Schroedl, and Bobbie Plancich as well as many other friends and family. Most of Betty's adult life was lived for her Lord and doing church and Sunday school work. She was a woman of prayer, was kind, thoughtful, and generous to everyone she met. She will be remembered for her homemade beef and noodles, and dinner and cinnamon rolls, and her homemade candies. Betty was a great story-teller, and loved wearing her Sunday hats. She had a great sense of humor, and was a vivacious "people person". Betty will be laid to rest next to her husband in Cascade, Idaho.
