Ruth Kelly Potkins

1934 ~ 2019

Ruth Kelly Potkins, 84, passed away peacefully in her home on Thursday February 14, 2019.

Ruth was a celebrated English teacher for 33 years. She inspired and encouraged countless students throughout her lifetime. Ruth cared about people in the purest way, without judgement and without asking for anything in return.

Ruth had a vivacious personality and always made people around her laugh. Most of all she loved her family. She was a rare combination of someone who had a love of life and a firm understanding of what was important; the simplicity of living a life with those you love. It is through her, and her personal stories and struggles, that we create a legacy that demonstrates the wonderful, intelligent and passionate example she set.

Ruth is the loving and devoted mother of her three children Kelly, Jeff and Susan; three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
