STUMPFF FUNERAL HOME
BARTLESVILLE, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)

Thelma Louise (Tooter) Potter, age 89 of Bartlesville, died on April 16, 2017 at Medical Lodge Nursing home after an extended illness.

Tooter was born in Dewey, OK on March 6, 1928 to Floyd and Goldie Hacker. She married Carroll Fred Potter on July 2, 1948 and had three boys, Fred, Bruce, and Bill.
Thelma graduated from Dewey High School. She was in the Dewey band as a Drum Majorette. She won a state championship award in roller skating competition.
Tooter entered the workforce right out of high school working for the phone company. She retired from Phillips Petroleum Company after 30 years and moved to Grand Lake outside of Disney, OK. She then worked several years for the State of Oklahoma Park Department.
Tooter was very active in her church at the lake and also delivered Meals on Wheels with her husband. Anyone who knew Tooter knew she loved the water (although she never learned to swim) and always tried to catch the biggest fish. She loved playing card games and dominoes, and somehow always managed to win if you weren’t watching.
Things she loved: Her family, flowers in the garden, animated Christmas decorations (including a singing fish with a Xmas hat). She loved a good bargain and would never pass up a garage sale.

She was preceded in death by her husband Carroll Potter.

Survivors include sons Fred Potter (wife DJ), Bruce Potter (wife Debbie), Bill Potter, seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at 2PM, Tuesday in the Stumpff Funeral Home Chapel. Arrangements are under the direction of Stumpff Funeral Home in Bartlesville. Her burial will be at Memorial Park Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers we suggest a donation to Cornerstone Hospice or a charity of your choice.
