POTTER, EDITH SHEARER Edith Potter passed away on August 3rd, 2014 in Santa Fe, NM after a brief illness. She had been a sixty-seven year resident of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Edith was born in October, 1920 to Isham and Martha Elizabeth Shearer in Brookland, Arkansas. Although raised on the family farm near Goobertown, AR, she followed a family tradition of education, teaching schoolchildren of all ages and coaching girl's basketball until she volunteered to serve in the Dept. of the Navy in Washington, DC during WWII. Edith had her eye on her future husband, Donald Potter, when they sang in the choir of the Paragould, AR Methodist Church. Donald joined the Army Air Corps just before the war, and survived the attack on Hickam Field, Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 7th, 1941. After completing his wartime service, he returned home to marry Edith in July, 1946. In February, 1947, Edith and Donald adventured into the unknown, driving through a snow-storm up the winding dirt road to the gate of the then-secret town of Los Alamos, NM, where they settled and raised a family. Donald worked as an electrical technician for the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory until 1961, when he suffered an untimely stroke. Edith had inherited a family characteristic of resilience, self-sufficiency, and service to others. She was a tireless caregiver. While caring for Donald and her two daughters, she returned to school, earned her Master's degree, and went on to teach 3rd and 4th grade during a 23-year career with Los Alamos schools. Edith was a founding member of the First Methodist Church of Los Alamos, serving on many of the committees and circles over the years. She was a master cook, winning medals and ribbons for her delectable baked dishes at county and state fairs and delighting family and friends with her southern fried chicken. She loved all sports. As a former basketball coach, she was an avid fan of the game and had a keen eye for strategies and tactics. She had no patience for teams that played dirty. Her sense of sportsmanship and fair play informed her politics. All who knew her can attest to her Arkansas common sense and deep roots in southern values and culture. It is estimated that she taught over 400 elementary students in Los Alamos. That, plus playing bridge, and serving in the church kept her mind sharp and vigorous right up to the end of her long life. She touched countless lives in her community. She will be sorely missed. Edith was preceded in death by her husband, Donald W. Potter, brothers Cecil and Grady Shearer, and sisters Mayme Shearer and Helen Shearer Woods. Edith is survived by her daughter Nancy and husband Bob Porter of Salt Lake City, UT; daughter Jan and husband John Eklund of Los Alamos; grandchildren Sylvan Argo and companion Andrew Stocker, Eli Argo, Max Argo, Kristopher Eklund, Darin and Claresa Porter, Benjamin Porter, Matthew and Krystel Porter; and lovely great-grandchildren Alora and Kyla Porter. A service celebrating her life was held on Friday, August 8th, at the First Methodist Church of Los Alamos, NM.

He designed and helped develop specialized hydraulic equipment for the railroad and retired in 1983 as Engineer of the Centralized Work Equipment Shops; overseeing 173 employees and the maintenance of 12,500 miles of the rail system. An avid outdoorsman and early environmentalist, J.B. grew up hunting and fishing; he continued to fly fish into his 90s. He and his father, along with Officer Don Price of the NM Fish and Game Division, were instrumental in establishing a haven in eastern NM for the wild life of the region, as well as preserving a small part of the Llano Estacado; now known as the Running Water Draw and the Ned Houk Park. He was an officer and active in the VFW for many years and participated and held office in the USS Hoggatt Bay Assoc.; hosting a highly successful Albuquerque ship's reunion in 2002. With a 5th wheel trailer, he and Paula traveled across the USA and went camping and fishing with dear friends for many years. He mastered fly tying, learned the art of Comanche Bead Work from a tribal member, grew gardens that fed family and neighbors and was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. In his late 60s, J.B. embraced the holistic health field and practiced herbology, reflexology and other energetic techniques.
