Mollie Porter

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Mollie Porter, our loving and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all those whose lives she touched, on March 25, 2019. She left us peacefully at St Mary’s Hospital in Huntington, West Virginia, with loved ones at her side. She was in her 88th year and born to Jesse Carter and Edna Adams Kinser Carter. She was married to her husband of over 50 years, Earnest Ray Porter, and together they raised seven children who provided them with numerous grandchildren.

She lived a full life, was a wonderful mother, grandmother & homemaker, and was loved and adored by so many. She was the best cook ever, and the strongest woman we have ever known. She lived her life with a true fighting spirit, doing things her way, and only when she was ready.
Most of all she loved her family and instilled in us her strong values to guide us through life if we follow her path. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. She dedicated her life to the Lord in November of 1982, and became a member of Branchland United Baptist Church, where she remained a member until her passing. Her faith in God was strong, and she believed He never failed her. We know that she is rejoicing in heaven.
