Sharon Lee Potter, 75, of London, passed away on June 4, 2025, at London Health and Rehabilitation.
Born on August 27, 1949, in London, Ohio, to Lloyd ("Bud") Potter and Ruth (Cummins) Potter Earley.
Preceded in death by her parents, stepfather Earnest Earley, brothers James and John Potter, brothers-in-law Gene Bussey and Bill Toops, her nephew Duane Bussey and niece Miranda Bussey, maternal grandparents Roy and Belva Cummins and paternal grandparents John and Gertrude (Potter) Chooman.
Sharon is survived by her sisters Marilyn Bussey, Connie Toops, Linda Price, all of London; brother David (Debbie) Potter of Copper City, Michigan; sister-in-law Pat Potter of Wilmington; numerous nieces and nephews.
Sharon moved to Maryland in 1967 where she worked at the F.B.I., The National Education Association, The National District Attorney's Association Commission on Victim Witness Assistance, as well as Dunnells, Duvall, Bennett and Porter until their merger with Holland and Knight, LLP.
She moved back home to London on August 1, 2011, after suffering three strokes in Maryland so she would be able to be nearer to her family.

She also was a Home Care Volunteer with Hospice of George County, Maryland. Sharon loved to cook, bake, and decorate cakes.

I worked with Sharon at Holland & Knight and we became good friends. One of Sharon´s many gifts was her amazing hospitality. I enjoyed many delicious meals that she lovingly prepared. I also enjoyed our fellowships until she moved from Maryland to be closer to her family in Ohio. Her salvation through Christ Jesus is secure. Until we meet again, my friend.

I am so sorry to learn of Sharon's passing. I worked with her at the FBI in Washington DC during 1967-1968. I live in the Zanesville Ohio area and Sharon came back to Ohio in 1973 for my wedding. I still have the Pewter candlesticks that she gave us as a wedding gift on my table. She was such a thoughtful person. My sincere sympathy to all of her family. Dianne Shroyer Messerschmidt
