After a brief illness, Constance Lynn Potter died peacefully at WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh, NC on February 1, 2022. Friends and family deeply appreciate the excellent services and compassionate care she received from everyone at WakeMed, including the third floor nurses and WakeMed social services team.

Connie grew up primarily in southern Illinois and worked in Carbondale as a personal care assistant for several people with significant physical disabilities. As a trusted member of the disability community, Connie through her work demonstrated her belief that the community should be accessible to and accepting of people with disabilities so that they can live where they choose, free and independent. A devout Catholic, Connie worshiped at the Church of Saint Francis Xavier in Carbondale, Illinois.

After moving to Raleigh, NC in 2016, Connie joined St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church and served there as a lay eucharistic minister. Connie enjoyed working at the Nature’s Own Bakery Outlet (Flowers Baking Company) in Raleigh and keeping in touch with friends on Facebook.
