Edwina Faith "Wendy" (Potts) Sparks, 79, of Georgetown, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, April 30, 2023. She was the glue that held her family together.

A recent born-again Christian, Wendy had many friends at Forward Church Family in New Albany.
She was born on July 21, 1943, in Elizabeth, Indiana, to Lawrence and Pearl (Barger) Potts. In addition to her parents, Wendy was preceded in death by her siblings, Rose and Dale.
