Cicely Grace (Potter) Postemski

Cicely Grace Potter Postemski, 85, of Sprague, CT passed away February
17 at her home. Cicely was born in Windham, CT on December 21, 1931 to
the late William R. Potter and Edith Colburn Potter. Cicely is
survived by her beloved husband Anthony T. Postemski of Sprague, CT,
children Vincent P.  Postemski (Deborah), David M. Postemski (Sheryl),
and Nancy C. Sasarak (Mark) all of Lebanon, CT and grandchildren
Christopher Sasarak of Rochester, NY and Megan Postemski of
Philadelphia, PA and several nieces and nephews. Cicely was
predeceased by her first husband Peter Vincent Postemski as well as
brothers Norman and Winston Potter and sister Carol Potter.

Cicely had an outgoing, charitable, and adventurous spirit.  Whether
it was traveling solo on the Trans-Siberian Express or driving her
Mustang with the top down and the wind blowing through her hair,
Cicely always had kind words and a desire to connect with any
friend, new, old, or a friend she just hadn't met yet.

Cicely instilled the values of hard-work, independence, and charity in
all of her children, but she gave something unique and special to each
of them as well. With Vincent she shared her appreciation of art,
which he made his own with his love of Photography and Film. With David
she shared her love of history and the outdoors. With Nancy she shared
her love of books and other cultures.

She also shared her love of travel with everyone in her life. Her
children fondly remember trips to Maine with Cicely and Peter to visit
the Potters on Hobb's Pond. Cicely also planned yearly family trips to
places like Fort Ticonderoga and Niagara Falls.

Closer to home Cicely also loved music such as Jazz and learned
to play the piano and could even play a little bit on the
accordion. She also worked hard to keep a tidy house and her
Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinners were always much-anticipated
events.

In 1985 she married Tony Postemski, they complemented each other
perfectly with their love of adventure, life, and a good meal. One
memorable tradition was hosting Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Fourth of
July picnics around their swimming pool. Her faithful companion, she
and Tony traveled the world to locations like Jamaica, Poland, the
Ukraine, Quebec, Calgary, the Yukon, Saint Croix, Cancun, Toronto, and
numerous locations throughout the United States, but she especially
enjoyed Texas and its bluebonnets. Finding someone as perfectly
matched and building such a loving and caring relationship is
something that we can all aspire to.

Through her life she touched more people in more ways than this
obituary can ever articulate. We'll always remember her stories, her
laugh, her spunk, and most of all her love.

Services will be private and Potters Funeral Home has been
entrusted with arrangements. Donations in Cicely's memory can be made to the charity of your choice.
