Alexis Mae Potts, passed away March 2, 2014 at age 69 in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Alexis was born July 28, 1944 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Madderson Alex and Marjorie Jane (Brockman) Stevens. A loving woman, mother, grandmother and caregiver giving to the end. Alexis was very compassionate but very stern with all that knew her. Alexis spent many years as an over the road truck driver, with a CB handle “Pebbles”, carrying her belonging in her purse as she crossed the country. As a leader she always got “stuck” training the new people on the job, teaching them how to do the job right. A typical grandmother, Alexis both spoiled her grandchildren and made them tow the line. Alexis had a camper that she loved to use. Fishing was one of her favorite pastimes. She spent a lot of time at Keystone Lake, sometimes 2 weeks at a time. Many might say that her dogs were more spoiled than her grandchildren. A woman ahead of her time, Alexis had a full and exciting life. She was very much loved and will be greatly missed. Alexis is preceded in death by her parents, husband Bobby Potts, daughter Karen Kay and son Paul Cleveland Jenkins III. Alexis is survived by her sons; David Newton, Daniel Newton. Daughter Shannon Jenkins, 16 Grandchildren and several great grandchildren. Visitation will be Tuesday, March 4, 2014 from 10-8 at Butler-Stumpff Funeral Home.
