Claire Lynn Potts, 15, of Jordan died Oct. 30, 2024. She was born May 11, 2009, to Clint and DaLauna Potts. She joined her brother, Forrest, just 12½ months after he was born. The two siblings were inseparable. As soon as they could walk, they could ride and, from then on, the family was able to cowboy till the job was complete. Her work ethic was never questioned. From a young age, her determination and grit shined through. Her horsemanship skills were something to see, especially her trick riding. Not only could she handle the regular cowboying tasks, but she could look stunningly beautiful while hanging off the side of her loyal steed, Batman, to entertain a crowd. She always seemed at ease flying on the back of her horses. Her fearlessness was a part of everything she did. It was part of her presence when she entered the room, court, track or arena. She could smile and everyone knew she was ready for whatever came next. On the flip side, if she didn’t smile, all knew she was not in a mind to be bossed around. Fortunately, these moments never lasted long, and her smile would return, ready to find fun with any of her many friends or family. She found success in many things. She was a successful student, state-record track athlete, accomplished livestock judger, rodeo competitor, artist and 4-H’er. Her medals, buckles and ribbons proving her work ethic and confidence served her well in any competition. She is survived by her parents; brother, Forrest; grandparents, Rick (Lisa) Potts, Terri Potts (Terry Mason) and Jacque Gregg; and great-grandmother, Margaret Cremer. Her funeral was held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the Garfield County High School multi-purpose room. Interment followed in the family lot at Pioneer Cemetery in Jordan.
