Homer Lee Potter

Homer Lee Potter, 81, of Maryville, TN went home to rejoice with his Lord and Savior on August 7, 2017, after a 17 year battle with various cancers. He fought the battle with grace and dignity and finally won the war and received his well deserved reward. He went home to join his parents Thomas and Ada (Hall) Potter, brother Fred Potter, sisters Juanita Blair and Faye Long, son-in-law Art Walker and many other beloved family members and friends. He was a long time member of Piney Grove Baptist Church where he had been a deacon for 37 years. He was a founding board member in the establishment of Chilhowee View Community Center, where he remained active for many years. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, serving during the Berlin Crisis.

He enjoyed gardening, yard work, camping, many family adventurous vacations, church activities but most of all loving and spending time with his family. There was no project that he couldnt figure out a solution to. He will be tremendously missed by his loving family and many friends.
