Helga Weber Potter, known affectionately as Helga to her friends and family, passed away on April 5, 2025, after a long illness. Born on October 30, 1949, in the picturesque town of Wels, Austria, Helga was a woman whose warmth and generosity touched all who knew her. She brought her vibrant spirit to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she would eventually leave her indelible mark and where she passed away surrounded by the love of her family and her cherished grand dogs.
Helga's life was one rich with the love of her family. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Glen Potter, her dear son, Alan Potter, and her father, Walter Schroll. She is survived by her devoted mother, Katharina Schroll, her caring son, Gregg Potter, and his wife, Sabrina. Helga's love extended beyond her human family to her four grand dogs, Sigmond, Adler, Amelie, and Cecilia, who brought her immeasurable joy and companionship.
A woman of intelligence and skill, Helga took pride in her education, earning a degree in drafting that would serve as the foundation for her professional journey. Her career in retail and sales was marked by her exceptional work ethic and her innate ability to connect with people. Helga's professional life was further enriched by her involvement in various associations, where she was known for her dedication and thoughtful contributions.
Beyond her professional achievements, Helga was a woman of diverse interests and talents. She had a passion for the game of pinnacle, which she played with skill and a competitive yet gracious spirit. An avid skier, she navigated the slopes with the same grace and determination that she applied to all aspects of her life. Bowling nights were a cherished pastime, and her love for games of all kinds was a testament to her playful heart and her love of spending quality time with those she held dear.
Those who had the pleasure of knowing Helga will remember her as a loving, generous, and thoughtful soul. She had a unique ability to make everyone in her presence feel valued and cared for, traits that were the essence of her character.
Helga's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of kindness, generosity, and love. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched, and the legacy of her spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. We bid farewell to Helga Weber Potter, a remarkable woman who lived a life full of purpose and joy. Her story is one of love and a life well-lived, and she will be dearly missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
Memorial Service will be held 1:00 p.m. Saturday, April 19th at Potter Cemetery in Coweta, Oklahoma.
