Rose M. Potts

Passed away on August 25, 2025


In Loving Memory of Rose Marie (DiSanto) Potts
March 4, 1939 – August 25, 2025

Rose Marie (DiSanto) Potts, of Calumet City, Illinois, passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family. She was 86 years old.

Born on March 4, 1939, Rose was a lifelong resident of Calumet City, where she built a beautiful life rooted in family, love, and unwavering devotion. She was the beloved wife of the late Raymond Potts Sr., with whom she shared many cherished years of marriage.

A dedicated and nurturing stay-at-home mother, Rose’s greatest joy was caring for her family. She raised her children—Raymond Jr. (Lori), Fred (Sara), and Annmarie (Matthew)—with deep love, patience, and strength. Her warm heart and gentle spirit extended to her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who lovingly knew her as Grandma. Her home was always a place of comfort, laughter, and the delicious smell of a home-cooked meal.

Rose will be remembered for her kind soul, her quiet strength, and the deep pride she took in her family. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the generations she helped shape.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished..
