Peggy Potter Obituary

Peggy passed peacefully on October 29, 2017, at the home of her daughter, Lili Gay in Edmonds, WA. Peggy was born August 19, 1933, in Fort Dodge, Iowa to Andy and Gladys Huber. She moved to Seattle when she was 7 years old, later attending Holy Names and Lincoln High School. She moved to Edmonds in 1972. She loved Edmonds, especially the beach, library and Edmonds Bookstore. Mom loved her family and did all she could to help us, support us and make life a bit easier for us. She adored her grandsons and great grandsons, the greatest joys in her life. She was preceded in death by her parents and her younger sisters, Patty and Polly. She is survived by her daughter, Lili Marie Gay (Michael), grandsons Christopher (Adriana) and Evan (Katie), and great grandsons, Nicholas, Mikey, Jack Henry and baby Grant. We miss her so much. Many thanks to Evergreen Hospice for the loving support, specifically Lita, Monica and D'arcy, and our wonderful and devoted caregivers, Mulo and Salote, who took such good care of mom and all of us. Memorial services will be held on December 2, 2017, at 11:30 at Maple Park Church, 17620 60th Ave. W. Lynnwood, WA.

I can’t believe she has been gone that long. She loved her daughter and grandchildren so much. I wish I could have talked to her one more time.

I knew Peggy for 20 years and cherished my friendship with her. We shared many laughs and she was always there for me during the tough times. She could bring a different prospective to lifes challenges. Peggy was a one of a kind lady. She was fiercely loyal to her friends and had a wicked sense of humor! I will miss her terribly. I am so sorry for your loss, Lili. You were an amazing daughter and took such good care of her these past years. I know Peggy appreciated you very much.

Peggy had a heart of gold. I adored her. Peggy was real and true to herself. A true original.
I would often say to Lili, I just love your Mom.
She loved babies and always wanted me to bring
my children and Grandchildren up to see her and then I got to see where Lili got her rocking style.
I will miss her being in my world but I know she will
still be here in my memories.
Lili was the best daughter any Mother could have.
God Bless the family.

Peggy was one of the great ladies of our time. Her spark and zeal are not replaceable. Her passing has left an empty place in our lives. We will miss her.

We met in high school and were best friends for years. We each married and life separated us. It is a regret I have always lived with. Peggy was a beautiful girl and I thought inside and out. I loved her and will always remember her. I am praying for Lili and her family. May God hold you in his arms during this difficult time and Bless You.
