Mrs. Lynn Potts peacefully entered into rest surrounded by loved ones at her home in the Brockton Community of Jefferson, Georgia on Saturday, May 25, 2024. Lynn was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1963 and she grew up in Smyrna, Georgia before moving to Talmo, Georgia.

Lynn met husband Keith Potts in Commerce, Georgia while working together at the Otasco store. They married on October 30, 1983 at Center United Methodist Church. Keith and Lynn recently celebrated 40 years of a joyful and loving marriage. Lynn’s greatest joy in life was being a mother to her three children: Abby, Kevin and Carter. Lynn was passionate about supporting and celebrating her children, attending every award ceremony, sports game, and dance recital with love and pride.

Lynn was a hard -working woman, working as a dental assistant before starting her 37-year career at Jackson EMC, where she retired in 2021. Lynn’s bliss in life was enjoying toiling with her flower garden, decorating her home, antique shopping, traveling, gathering seashells at the beach, and listening to country music particularly the Oak Ridge Boys and Garth Brooks. Most of all, Lynn valued spending quality time with family and friends. Conversations with Lynn were often filled with happy memories and funny stories of family adventures.
