Avis Coleman Diaz

Teasdale, Utah - Avis Coleman Diaz, age 73, of Teasdale, Utah joined her loved ones in heaven on December 14, 2022, surrounded by her family and loved ones in Gunnison, Utah. She was born July 22, 1949, in Panguitch, Utah, to Lafay Wilford and Fern Johnson Coleman.

She met her first husband Byant Achter, they had a son who was unfortunately asked back to Heaven at Birth. She later met her second husband Melvin Potter, which blessed her with two children with him, her son Lemual Potter and daughter Fern Potter. A few years later she met Elias Diaz, and had her youngest daughter, Amanda Diaz.

Avis was an amazingly kind, loving, and accepting human. She prided herself of the wonderful family that she built here in our county. She was a creative, insightful, and unique beyond belief. Always inviting with a comforting hug to gentle words of understanding knowledge. She lived an adventurous life in her youth from California to every end of this beautiful state, that she cherished in her soul, Utah.

She was everybody's mother and everybody's grandma. Her door was always open, and she was always there with a bit of advice if not just to listen. Her home was so full of love, and acceptance, and unique collections it was hard to not get lost in your visits with her.

She was a magnificent mother and an extraordinary Grandma. She had three amazing children, that soon extended her Legacy with 9 Grandkids, 12 great Grandkids with one on the way! She is survived by her children: Lemual and Katherine Potter of Las Vegas, Nevada; Fern and Joe Van Dyke of Lyman; Amanda and Aaron Flores of Teasdale; grandchildren: Robin and Jimmy Rosado, Sam Potter, Christina and Austin Davis, Cameo and Marcus Manzanares, Lacie and Luis Moreno, Shyanne Van Dyke, Kreo Flores, Kyler Flores and Kirran Flores; great-grandchildren: Hayden, Axille, Saxxon, Lincoln, Eleanor and Atticus Davis; Harvey, Kendal and Miles Manzanares, Maddix, Mai and Ali Moreno, and Baby Rosado on the way.
