On April 8th, 2025, God and his Angels, called Adell Potter Price home. She now sits at Jesus feet in wide-eyed awe and love. Adell Potter, was born on April 1st, 1923 to parents Frank Rueben Potter and Ester Janie King Potter Stevens in Brinkley, Arkansas.On October 1st, 1938, she met and married her sweetheart, Ray L. Price. Their marriage lasted for 68 years. Together, they raised five children: Donald, Doug, Danny, Diane and Debra Price. She is preceded in death by her parents: Frank R Potter and Ester Janie King Potter-Stevens and her son, Douglas W. Price; her sisters, Roxie Autry, and Odell Potter; Brothers, R L Potter, and Frank Potter. Her surviving loved ones include: Donald Price (Jackie) of Tishomingo, OK, Susie Price (Douglas Price’s widow) of Henrietta, OK, Danny Price (Deborah) of McLoud, OK, Debra Price Key (Jimmy) of Alma, AR, and Diane Price Parkes (Gary) of Shawnee, OK. Throughout Adell’s title as, Mom, Nana and Grandmother, her family continued to grow blessing her with: 17 grand-children, 41 great grand-children, and 18 great great grandchildren resulting in 81 lives total. She was also blessed with many nieces and nephews. During WWII, Ray was drafted into the US Army, as many other men. She supported the war effort at Tinker Air Force Base (formerly McDonnell Douglas) in a civilian capacity as a “Rosie Riveter”. Besides being a home maker and raising five children, she worked along side her husband in his housing construction business. They also owned and operated, a convenience store situated on the 200+ acre farm located in Jacktown, OK. Adell and Ray were great gardeners with “green thumbs” and successfully grew enough produce to feed their family; along with chickens, pigs and cows that they raised. When she was only five years old in 1928, she gave her heart and soul to God by faith, in Jesus Christ. From that point on in her life she never turned away from her faith, sharing constantly her religious convictions and encouraging others to follow the same path. This relationship with her savior endured and carried her through all of life’s trials and tribulations. Adell is a lifetime founder of the origination of Hillside Baptist Church in McCloud, Ok. Along with other members, she and her husband, Ray helped erect the church building. They also helped to build the Bismarck, Arkansas First Baptist Church. So she took time out of her life to give to others as a disciple in God’s name. She taught Sunday school, Vacation Bible school, and sang in her church choir. Graveside services to honor and celebrate Adell's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, April 14, 2025 at the Troy Cemetery in Troy, Oklahoma. Honorary pallbearers will be Kelly Price, Levi Price, Lloyd Potter, Tracy Potter, Matt Brown, Douglas Price Jr., Daniel Taylor and Dylan Taylor.
