PORTER, VELMA DAWN

Feb 19, 2014

Peacefully at Perth Hospital on Tuesday February 11, 2014 with her family at her side in her 61st year. Beloved wife of 44 years to Ivan Porter, dear mother of Ruby Lynn Dee (Dan), Ivan Jr. (Grenda) and Tracey. Grandmother of Ashley Dee. Velma grew up in Elm Tree, a part of Kennebec Township. She was one of ten children. She enjoyed sharing childhood stories and memories. Velma spent 29 years working for the Limestone District School Board. Over this time she worked with special needs children. Because of the dedication and passion Velma had she was able to change the lives of the many children and people she worked with. Spending time with family was very important to Velma. She loved being together for holidays, birthdays and camping trips. Also she and her husband Ivan enjoyed attending country music festivals with close friends. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her but will always be in our hearts.
