Georgia Wailes

Potts

Georgia Wailes Potts, 90, of Morehead City, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 9, 2026, at the Crystal Coast Hospice House.

Georgia was born on November 22, 1935, in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, to the late Raymond and Margaret Wailes. She graduated from Breckenridge High School and later continued her education, earning a bachelor's degree.

On October 1, 1955, Georgia married her sweetheart Randy, and together they made their home in South Carolina. She dedicated her career to education, teaching English at Indian Land High School before later serving as the school's librarian.

Georgia was an avid snow skier and developed a love for skiing and fishing while growing up. She also enjoyed golfing, attending Clemson ballgames, and, most of all, spending time with her family. These were some of the many things that brought her joy throughout her life.

Those remaining to cherish her memory are her children, Lora P. Bryson of Newport, NC and Randolph Dwayne Potts of Rock Hill, SC; grandchildren, Kenneth Charles Gray Jr. of Swansboro, NC and Christy Jean Lewis of Newport, NC; and great-grandchildren, Landon Lewis and Cade Lewis, both of Newport, NC, and Savannah Gray and Brynnlee Gray, both of Swansboro, NC.

In addition to her parents, Georgia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Randolph O. Potts.
