Helen Ann Potts, 80, of Hockessin and formerly of Wilmington Delaware, died on April 10, 2021 at Christiana Hospital.

She was a member of the St. Elizabeth’s class of 1957.

Helen worked as an advocate for domestic violence for a few years at the University of Delaware. She later earned her master certificate of “Reflexology” and opened a private business for a while. She was a wonderful home maker and mother.

Helen was one of the most-kindest, caring and loving person we ever knew. She was always there to listen and offer guidance. She was loved and adored by everyone that knew her, she will be greatly missed.

Our hearts also go out to her life-long friend, Lucy. The two of them shared a bond that is rarely seen. They loved, adored, cherished and enjoyed each other, without judgement or limitations.

Helen belonged to a group “Course of Miracles” which focused on spiritual growth. She was passionate and dedicated to her spirituality.

    Dear Mom, I came across a beautiful ecard in memory of you and shared it with Buddy and Dale. Stephen doesn't have a computer, so I couldn't send It to him. But, I wanted to light a candle for you with a message after I searched on line, and found that your obituary was posted with the option for lighting a candle for you, and leaving a message. I want to thank you for all the good times and talks we have shared with one another, for always wanting the best for me and your 3 sons, and for bringing us up as good Christians- leading us down that path that has sustained us throughout our life, and what will remain with us forever. I am so glad that we got to spend some time together before You were taken to heaven. You don't have to suffer any more with your health now, and you're at peace. Miss you! But know you are there in Spirit whenever I want, or need to talk to you. Love, Mary❤🦋

    Happy Mother’s Day Mommy. I was thinking about you a lot today, and I felt you with me. Words cannot describe the love I have for you, nor how much I miss you every day. Hug my Son for me, and comfort me when I have a moment of heartache. Losing the two of you has changed me forever in ways I never imagined possible. My soul has a void from it all. But my spirit keeps me going, knowing that you and Dale are watching over me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯😪 I love you both very much. 😢
