Rollin (Rollie) Vance Potter, 75, of Concrete, WA passed away on Tuesday, October 31st at the Life Care Center of Skagit Valley after suffering from a stroke. Rollie is preceded in death by his wife, Judy, who passed away in their home September 30th, 2017, and his parents, Clarence Leo Potter and Alida Karine Potter. Rollie is survived by his sister, Lois (Robert) Patterson; brother, Virgil (Sharon) Potter; and many nieces and nephews.
After graduating from high school in Souris, ND, Rollie farmed for his sister, worked at Sund Manufacturing in Newburg, ND and drove mail truck to Minot, ND. Rollie was driving delivery trucks in Seattle where he met the love of his life, Judy Blakey. They were married in July of 1969. While still living and working in the Seattle area, they built a home in Concrete, WA. Judy and Rollie retired with full pensions early in life and began their RV traveling. They loved meeting new friends and family all over the U.S. They were very involved in the Skagit Sams RV Club.
The family would like to thank their kind and loving friend Debbie Varner for the assistance in enabling Judy to remain in their home during her extended illness. Also we would like to thank their devoted friends Bobbie and Judy Leopard, Duane Eddy, Dick Benson, Ron and Jenny Baker and Bob and Jody Holland.
A Graveside Inurnment Service will be held at 1:00, Saturday, May 5, 2018 at Forest Park Cemetery in Concrete with Pastor Rob Thomas presiding. Family and friends will have an opportunity to celebrate the lives of Judy and Rollie in ND this summer. Cards and memorials can be sent to Judy and Rollie’s Concrete address: 46268 Baker Loop, Concrete, WA. Memorials will be sent to the Life Care Center of Skagit Valley in Sedro Woolley.

Guestbook

  • Marly (Mar) McDonald

    My family is from Souris where Rollin and us grew up. He was a little older than me but a friend to all. My aunt just sent me the obituary so I’m a little late signing the guest book and getting our card out. I still have two brothers in Souris and we are all close friends of Rollin’s nephew Dwight and look forward to seeing Dwight whenever we get to Souris. I can just imagine Rollin at an RV park, helping everyone that drives in and sets up. A wonderful man with wonderful friends. And I can still see his dad Clarence driving that Standard bulk truck. Clarence never broke any speed limits that’s for sure.
