  Birth	12 Apr 1921	Lonaconing, Allegany Countyt, Maryland.
  Gender	Female
  Death	8 Feb 2014	Anaheim, Orange County, California
  Notes	Porter, Virginia G., matriarch of the Porter Clan, 92 years young, jumped into the loving arms of Jesus on Saturday, February 8th, at 1:40 p.m. "Ginny" was born April 12, 1921, the last of six children of John and Mahala Grindle of Lonaconing, Maryland. On January 14, 1944, after completing her training as a registered nurse, she married Robert L. Porter of Ellerslie, Maryland. They would spend the next 63 years together, living in Cumberland, Maryland; Columbus, Kansas; Oak Park and Bellwood, Illinois and Erie, Pennsylvania; finally moving to Anaheim, California in 1964. Ginny is preceded in death by her loving husband "Bob," by brothers John Grindle, George Grindle and Melvin Grindle; and sisters Elsie Klipstein and Naomi Kuhnle. She is survived by sons Gary Porter of Yorktown, VA; Michael Porter of Fairview, TN and Steven Porter of Santa Monica, CA; four grandchildren and seven great-grandkids. Over the years, Ginny and Bob welcomed many "waifs and wanderers" to their home, each becoming an "adopted" son or daughter; the recipient of as much love and care as their biological family. Ginny loved to play her autoharp, take naps with her cairn terrier, Abby, and tend to her flower garden. She will be sorely missed, but we rejoice in the knowledge that she can once again dance with her Bob. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 8th, 2:00 p.m., at First Nazarene Church, 1340 N. Candlewood St. Anaheim, CA, 92805. Email condolences may be sent to rngport@aol.com. Ginny had no single favorite charity, she gave to many; in lieu of flowers, donations are requested to go to either First Nazarene Church or Hope Community Church of Anaheim.
