Obituary For Evelyn Elizabeth Potter

Evelyn Elizabeth (Losiewicz) Potter, 89, of Bristol, passed away on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Dawn Hill Home for Rehab & Healthcare. She was the beloved wife of 69 years of Richard Potter.

Born on July 25, 1936, in Providence, RI, she was the daughter of the late Anthony and Jennie (Ukieja) Losiewicz.

She grew up in Pawtucket, RI and earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of RI. She was a dedicated educator, working first at the Multi-Unit School and then at Reynolds School in Bristol.

She was an outstanding teacher who knew how to reach and support children in ways others could not. She went above and beyond each and every day to make sure that her children were seen and loved. She truly dedicated her life to the development of her students.

She is survived by her two daughters, Penelope (James) Pirri of Warren and Abigail (Edward Krasner) Potter of Cranston; five grandchildren: Alexander (Carly) Pirri of Bristol, Joshua Pirri and Jacob Pirri of Warren, Samuel Krasner and Simon (Kayla) Krasner, of Cranston; and two great-grandchildren, Owen & Olivia Pirri.

    Mrs. Potter was my third grade teacher many years ago. I remember her smile and how she managed to keep us all engaged, while providing each child what they needed in order to learn. Mrs. Potter was also my mother's friend so I was lucky enough to still see her after I was no longer in attendance at multi-unit. My sympathy to her family. I am comforted by the thought that her and my mother are together. I can still see them at the kitchen table, laughing.
