Passing of Mary Potter

Post by Brian Cress » Tue Dec 03, 2024 2:56 pm

With heavy hearts we must share the news that Mary Potter has passed away. Most of you will remember Mary as the wife of Russ Potter who supplied rebuilt carburetors for many Model T hobbyists. Mary too was instrumental in the business, handling all of the business's shipping and billing duties.

For those wishing to attend her services, her arrangements are as follows:

Visitation: Friday Dec. 6th from 5 PM-7 PM CST.
Funeral Service/Burial: Saturday Dec. 7th at 10 AM CST.

Susnset Funeral Home
3940 N. Vermilion St.
Danville, IL. 61834

It was nice visiting with Russ at the Model T Haven auction. One of the great things about this game is getting to meet so many good people.

Sincere condolences to the Potter family. I never knew any of you, but you were there when I needed a carb for my T. May God rest her soul.
