Carol Potter Obituary

Visit the Donohue Funeral Home - West Chester website to view the full obituary.
Carol Potter, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother died at Cooper Hospital on Monday, August 16th.  Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was a devoted daughter to the late Mary and Ken Ewing and sister to the late Kenneth Ewing, Jr.  In 1961, Carol married her high school sweetheart, Robert (Bob) Potter and recently celebrated 60 years of marriage. Over that time, their love grew stronger. Bob and Carol spent and cherished every moment together. They were inseparable and Bob was truly Carol's other half.
Carol was a loving and dedicated mother to her four sons, Robert "Bobby" (Barbara), Christopher, Shawn (Anne Marie) and Dennis (Christine).  She was an inspiring role model to her eight grandchildren (Kourtney, Kaitlyn, Amanda, Taylor, Dalton, Maren, Will and Scarlett) and three great-grandchildren (Logan, Jimmy and Olivia). Carol enjoyed spending time with her family on the beach, boating, camping and taking care of her beloved pets.  She was a resident of West Chester, PA for many years and enjoyed her summers with her friends and husband at Holly Shores in Cape May, NJ.  While Carol will be missed, the impact that she had on every life she touched will last forever.
Relatives and friends are invited to Carol's Visitation on Wednesday, September 1, 2021 from 4:00 - 7:00 PM at the Donohue Funeral Home, 1627 West Chester Pike, West Chester, PA 19382.

"Aunt Carol" as she is known by so many will always have a special place in our hearts. She loved and cared for our children as if they were part of the family. Carol was a blessing to us and we were grateful to have her in our lives. We will miss her laugh, her smile and her stories.

Bob, she loved you to pieces and we know you will miss her dearly but she will always be with you. She loved telling stories and updating us on what you and all of the family were doing because she was so proud of all of you.

Know that we are thinking of all of you and that Aunt Carol will remain in our hearts always.
Cindy, Ted, Lydia and Ethan
