Mrs. Porter passed away on March 20, 2024 at the Clay County Hospital. Deborah was a loving and giving lady, who always went out of her way for her family, community, and church family. She loved cooking and caring for those around her. Her favorite time of the year was Christmas when all her family came together. Her favorite song was by George Strait, “I cross my heart.” Her family and friends will remember the impact she made and the love she shared with everyone she met. Deborah was the kind of person to always give 100 percent in everything she did and thought that was never enough. Her time here may seem short to all the family, but she will always be remembered and cherished in their everyday lives.
