Frances Poteete Obituary
She shared a cherished marriage with her late husband, Clark Poteete. Their relationship stood as a lasting example of love and partnership, inspiring their family for generations to come.
Frances is survived by her daughters Tinnia Smith (Steve) and Jennifer Gilbert (Mark). She was a proud grandmother to Mark Alan Gilbert (Shannon), Stephanie Smith, Chase Smith, Jamie Gilbert, and Anne Marie Aric (TC). Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren: Rylee, Sadie, Charlee, Waylon, Clark, and Layton.
Her family will remember her as a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Her grandchildren have treasured memories of a home created with laughter and affection.
The family will be having a private celebration of life.
