Mary Christine Potts

With heavy hearts, we are mourning the passing of Mary Christine Potts, aged 79, on February 22, 2026. She was born to Andrew and Mary Catherine.

She is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Dorrell, and their two children and their families. Their son, Thomas, and his wife, Andrea, and their children: Shana, Christopher, Samuel, Mary, Liliy-Ann, Amber, and Katarina. Their daughter, Kimberly, and her husband, Jason, and their two sons: Brett and Carter. She is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Autumn and Luke.

She also had numerous nieces and nephews, and her sister in law, Iris, who was more like a sister to her—all of whom will miss her conversations and her presence.

Mary passed away suddenly of natural causes, sparing her any prolonged suffering leaving behind a legacy of resilience, strength, and compassion in her family.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sun on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there; I did not die.
