ALFRED BROWN POTTER

Alfred Brown Potter, 97, of Monroe passed away peacefully in his sleep on 
Monday at the NE LA War Veterans' Home. He was born May 3, 1919, in Newton, 
Mississippi, to Carrie Brown and John C. Potter Sr. He served in the Army from 
1942 to 1944. Shortly thereafter, he met and married Lucille Beatrice Wallace 
of Monroe on June 27, 1948. Together they spent most of their lives in Monroe 
and dedicated their lives to serving the Lord and each other. Everyone that 
knew them knew they were truly devoted to each other.

He was lovingly referred to as "Uncle Buddy" by the Potter family and as 
"Uncle Potter" by the Wallace family. Potter spent his business career in the 
business office supply industry with many loyal clients, and retired from 
Stuart's at the age of 90. Potter and Lucille had no children of their own, 
but were blessed by the tremendous love of all of their nieces and nephews, 
and they, in turn, loved their nieces and nephews as children of their own.

Potter is preceded in death by his wife, Lucille Wallace Potter; brother John 
C. Potter Jr. and his wife, Ernestine Hanan; sister Florence Potter Hughes and 
her husband, George; and his brother Evan.

He is survived and honored by his loving nieces and nephews John C. Potter III 
and his wife Frances of Huntsville, AL; Carrie Potter Mathis and her husband 
Stephen of Springfield, MO; Margaret Hughes Hayes of Bethesda, MD; Barbara 
Hughes Hosein and her husband, Everold of Carmel, IN; George "Richard" Hughes 
and his wife, Nancy, of Overland Park, KS; David Potter Hughes and his wife, 
Diana, of Midwest City, OK; Robert C. "Bobby" Wallace and his wife, Nemery, of 
West Monroe; Patricia Wallace Gray and her husband, Courtland of Plano, TX; 
Marianne Wallace Guillory of West Monroe; David Wallace and his wife, Alicia, 
of Nashville, TN; Greg Wallace and his wife, Denene, of Douglasville, GA; 
Melanie Wallace Frazier of Baton Rouge, LA; Paula Wallace Distler and her 
husband, Carl, of Huntsville, AL; and Karen Wallace Childs of Fayetteville, 
TN. Also honoring his memory are numerous great nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be at Kilpatrick's Funeral Home, 1200 Lamy Lane, Monroe, LA 
from 5:00 until 7:00 Friday, June 3, 2016 and graveside services will be at 
the Masonic Cemetery of Newton MS, at 1:00 PM on Saturday, June 4, 2016. The 
family would like to express their appreciation to Bobby & Nemery Wallace for 
their devotion and care for Potter, and to the staff of the NELWVH for the 
care provided to Potter during his stay there. Memorial donations may be made 
to the First United Methodist Church, Monroe.
