Dorothy Lorene Lewis Potts

Dorothy Lorene Lewis Potts, age 88, passed away peacefully surrounded by those who loved and cared for her on February 21, 2020, at NHC Maury Regional.

Dorothy was born in Columbia, TN to the late Robert & Bammy Lewis on March 30, 1931. Dorothy was active throughout her entire life, spending a significant amount of time outdoors. She could often be found tending to her garden. When not working in her garden, she spent time combing through the flea markets, seeing what treasures she could find. More than gardening or being outdoors, Dorothy loved her family and was intensely loyal to her Lord. She was of the Baptist Faith.

Dorothy’s life will be celebrated in service on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 beginning at 2 pm, at Williams Funeral Home in Columbia with Bro. Jim Ledbetter is officiating. The family will receive friends on the same day from noon until the time of the service. Burial will follow at Polk Memorial Gardens.
