Joanne Dove
December 19, 1928 — December 23, 2016
Mrs. Dove was born December 19, 1928, in Warren, OH, to the late Casey and Bonnie Mattox Potter. She was a homemaker for over 70 years and was quick to tell anyone that she could pinch a penny until Abe Lincoln screamed. Mrs. Dove was a beloved baby sitter for many years and helped to raise several dozen Caledonia boys and girls. She was a member of Kolola Springs Baptist Church and dearly loved the fellowship of the members. Mrs. Dove also loved gardening and reading a good mystery novel. Her favorite color was purple and giving her anything purple would light up her face. She tried to live by the Serenity Prayer and always said it was mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it don’t matter. In addition to her parents, Mrs. Dove was preceded in death by her husband, Will D. Dove, daughter, Pamela Jo Dove Moss, son, Riggie G. Dove, daughter-in-law, Ann Hargrove Dove, son-in-law, Al Herrera, sisters, Ellen J. Waters of Lexington, KY, and Patricia Ione Potter of Tulsa, OK, and granddaughter, Sherry Berneice Finley Moss.
