ALICE POTTER

Alice Potter, z"l, passed away June 2, 2020, at the age of 102. Alice was preceded in death by her husband, Edward Potter; and her daughter, Carol Potter Ginsberg. Alice is the dear mother of Irving (Arlene) Potter, Linda (Stanley, z”l) Hochman and Carol, z”l (Bob, z”l) Ginsberg. She also had 8 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.

In keeping with Congregation Neveh Shalom’s and the family's commitment to keep our community safe and healthy, and in compliance with our governor's directive, a private interment was held.

Born Dec. 9, 1917, she moved with her mother Esther Riback Solomon and older sister Lillian Solomon Volchok from Los Angeles to Portland.

She graduated from Portland's Commerce High School (Cleveland). Alice and Eddie met at the Jewish Community Center in Portland where they were active in BBYO. They were married for almost 66 years until Eddie's passing in 2001. During WWII they produced a monthly newsletter for members of Portland's Ramblers club serving in the military. In recognition, Alice was awarded the "Amanuensis" award by the Ramblers when the troops came home.

She played weekly with the same Mah Jong group for over 60 years.

The family has requested that donations in Alice's memory be made to B'nai B'rith Camp or the charity of your choice.
