Evelyn was a wonderful wife of 61 years to Billy Gene Potter and they lived from the seashores of California to the mountaintops in Colorado. They farmed in Boise City, worked the oilfields of Kansas, and worked at Aero Parts Manufacturing Company in Wichita, Kansas. She was a wonderful cook, a very good mother and a very special grandmother. She truly leaves many wonderful memories behind her. She loved all life had to offer, enjoyed the animals in nature and was a gifted artist and seamstress. Her favorite thing to eat was Chocolate Covered Turtles and she hated green beans. She was a long time romantic and never stopped holding hands until the day she died. She belonged to the United Methodist Church.
