My name is Janet Kaye Potts, the K stands for Kaye, but I just like K. and that's all. I just turned 79 on May 18. Who knew almost 80 was when I got to go to heaven. Heaven is where you go see your mother and daddy and the people you dearly loved. My heaven is the forever kind.

Janet K. Potts was born on May 18, 1947 to Kenneth and June Brown. She spent her life in dedication to the people and things that she loved and service to the Lord. She was a devoted teacher, a gifted organist and played at Bethel Baptist Church for over 50 years.

She is survived by her loving husband, Gary Potts; sister, Vicki Newcom; her children, Tiffany and Ryan; her grandchildren and great grandchildren, mother and father-in-law, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and many students.
