Erlene Sharon Potter
1933-2019
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Erlene Sharon Potter, 85, of Springhill,
surrounded by her family at the All Saints Hospital on Monday, May 20,
2019. Born in Springhill, Erlene was a daughter of the late Anthony
and Rhodetta (Dunphy) Beaton.
Mum was loving, caring, kind and considerate. She was always
there for us no matter what. When asked for advice about what to do or
say, it always seemed to turn out to be the right
thing.
Besides being a wonderful homemaker and incredible cook, she
worked for a time at MacAloney’s Nursing Home as a cook. In her
earlier days she enjoyed playing cards, entertaining friends and
spending time at Gin’s cottage.
Her favourite pastime was doing crossword puzzles, watching
classic movies and in particular, spending time in her
garden.
She will be dearly missed by daughters, Cathy Potter,
Springhill, Melissa (Christopher) Ellwood, Hammonds Plains, NS; a
daughter-in-law, Jo-Ann; as well as her grandchildren, Kenneth
(Almida), Joseph (Laura) and Jack.
Besides parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth
Potter, a daughter Virginia and her sons, Joseph, Roderick and Eric,
as well as her brother, Donald Beaton.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of
A.H. Brown Funeral Home, 5 McFarlane
Street, Springhill (902-597-2361). Cremation has taken place and a
private family graveside service will take place at a later
date.
The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the
Stroke Team in Truro, The VON, The staff of the Cumberland Regional
Health Care Centre and the very caring staff of All Saints Hospital in
Springhill for their compassion and support.
Donations in memory of Erlene may be made to the All Saints
Hospital Auxiliary.
