Overview
- Her death was announced by her son, Dillon, in a video posted to her YouTube channel on Thursday, November 27.
- Dillon described an early-morning January crash with an unlit truck and trailer on a dark two-lane highway, saying their car struck the trailer at about 50 mph.
- He said both insurers denied liability after dash-cam footage contradicted their initial speed estimate to police, and he has struggled to secure legal help.
- Following the crash, Potter endured months of illness that led to a diagnosed esophageal blockage, an ICU stay complicated by Covid-19 and an infected back wound, and ultimately respiratory failure with inadequate nutrition.
- She entered hospice in November and was released to her sister’s home, and the family has launched a GoFundMe seeking $1,400 for cremation costs, with only modest funds raised so far.
