Agnes Horvath Potter ’75, fondly known as Aggie, passed away peacefully on Feb. 21, 2012, with her husband, Rick Potter, at her bedside. Her family and close friends supported her throughout her recent illness, through which she demonstrated the same courage, determination, and grace that characterized her 58 years. She was appreciative and proud of the full and rich life she and Rick had built for themselves. A resident of Los Gatos, Aggie was born in 1953 in Hungary and grew up in Niles, Ohio, until the age of 15, when she moved to California with her parents. Aggie and her parents settled in Santa Clara County where she attended Leigh High School, graduating in 1971. Aggie earned a BSC degree in accounting from Santa Clara University in 1975. Continuing her education, Aggie earned her MBA from Pepperdine University. Early in her career, Aggie held corporate and divisional management finance positions for ROLM Corporation, Sohio Petroleum, and Ampex Corporation. She was one of six partners in Management Solutions, Inc., where she helped build a successful organization. Aggie founded the Gorilla Search Group, a boutique search firm that specialized in senior financial executive searches. Aggie built long-term relationships with candidates, colleagues, and clients that transcended individual placements. She generously and graciously offered guidance and advice to friends and acquaintances and was a wonderful listener and sounding board. Aggie loved the outdoors. She spent time in her garden at home, grooming her flowers and "raising" the koi in the backyard pond. Extending this love of being outside, Aggie played golf and was active in the women’s golf group at Silver Creek Country Club. Most of all, Aggie loved horses. She spent much of her time with her beloved Doc and Tally, going to the barn and cantering up the tranquil hills of Wunderlich Park all year round and in all sorts of weather. Aggie and her husband traveled the world. She loved experiencing and learning about new and different places. Aggie is survived by her parents, Stephen and Rose Marie Horvath of Los Gatos, as well as Rick Potter, her loving husband of 30 years, and Tally. She will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her or crossed paths with her. She was a beautiful person.
