Mary Lou Campbell Potts, BHS '53 (1935-2022)


 MARY POTTS OBITUARY

"Kind Words don't cost much... Yet they accomplish much." The "Word Cloud" was generated from comments posted on Mary's Facebook account. The word "Kindness" and "Kind" come up repeatedly for good reason as this is who Mary was.Kind to family, friends, strangers, the clerk at the store, the acquaintance at a party or event. Mary was kind, a kind lady, a kind daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, wife and friend. Mary's kindness was evident from her listening and caring ear, through her generosity, and her ability to bring a smile, though her kindhearted nature. Even if it wasn't your best day, a few moments with Mary would turn that frown upside down :).

Mary Lou Campbell was born to George and Maurine Campbell, May 26th 1935 in Los Angeles, California. Mary spent most of her young years in Burbank Ca., and graduated from Burbank High School where her father George taught bookkeeping and accounting.
