Edna Potts Knotts

February 3, 1935 - September 14, 2020

Edna Potts Knotts, recently of Decatur Georgia and for many years a resident of Flowery Branch Georgia February 3,1935 September 14, 2020 Edna Potts Knotts passed away on September 14, 2020, in comfort and complete peace, knowing she would soon be with her husband, Major Edward William Knotts, her beloved mother Edna Roberts Potts, father William Bruce Potts and dear sister, Judy Potts and her beloved lord and savior, Jesus Christ. She was in the last months and moments of her life surrounded by love in the home of her son and daughter in law. Edna supported and adored her husband of 52 years with courage and strength as he flew many missions in Korea and Vietnam. She stood by him for his multiple deployments, again with extraordinary optimism, humor and personal determination. Although she moved her whole family many times over the course of their military life, making enduring friendships and family connections was an integral part of her very spirit. Edna passed from this life as she lived it, full of grace and wise perspective. She raised her three sons, Edward Jr. (Dutch), Bruce and Wesley to a level of humor and generosity that she exhibited so strongly in her daily life. The wives of her sons, Barbara, Linda and Beth, her grandchildren, Jonathan, Savanna, (step) Scott and Cara, and her great-grandchild (step) Roman will continue to benefit from the beautiful spirit that she left as her everlasting endowment. Her sisters, Mary and Alice, and her friends mourn her loss deeply, knowing that each day is a little less joyful without their Edna. Please join us virtually as we stand together, expressing her love of family, friends and her Lord, for the service to celebrate and commemorate her life. Interment will occur at a later date, when we can all join together in person.
