Wanda Clio Voss Potter, 82, of Wilford, passed peacefully away, surrounded by her family, on October 26, 2019, at her home of natural causes. She was born July 22, 1937, in Malad, Idaho, to Raymond Henry Voss, Sr., and Wanda Hadfield Voss. The family lived for a time in Malad before moving to Teton City, Idaho where Wanda attended elementary school. She then attended high school in Saint Anthony and graduated from South Fremont High School.

She married Franklin Lewis Potter on June 3, 1955, in Wilford. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls Temple. They raised their family and farmed in Wilford.

She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in many callings. She was the ultimate visiting teacher and cared deeply for the women she ministered to. She was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and enjoyed her associations there.

She was a hard worker and spent many hours working with Frank on the farm. She loved working in her yard and always raised a garden. She enjoyed processing the vegetables that she would harvest. She like to quilt and do other handiwork. She enjoyed baking and loved to share her baked goods and chicken noodle soup with her neighbors, friends and family. She had the opportunity to teach many of her grandchildren how to bake. She loved time spent with her family.
