Obituary of Kenneth E. Porter

Bedford – Kenneth E. Porter was called home by his Lord on Thursday, July 2, 2015, at 10:20 pm at IU Health Bedford Hospital after complications with pneumonia. Ken was born on December 26, 1936 in Monroe County to Alva E. and Gladys M. Porter. He was a current member of the family of Stonebridge Health Campus in Bedford, and a former resident of Washington, IN. Ken was blessed with an extraordinary sense of humor and laughter. He was always willing to entertain with a funny story or remembrance. We are thankful he was able to keep his sense of humor, even through his final sickness. Survivors include two brothers, Robert (Barbara) Porter of Naples, FL and Leroy (Vicki) Porter of Bloomington; three sisters, Janet Landreth (Joe Limp) of Bedford, Brenda (Chris) Kenyon of Kettering, OH, and Joyce (Ron) Clark of Lakeland, FL; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, and one brother, Charles, of Bedford. Graveside services will be conducted at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at Valhalla Memory Gardens Chapel in Bloomington with Max Abel officiating. Burial will follow in Valhalla Memory Gardens. Visitation will be from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at the Day & Carter Mortuary. Family and friends may express condolences at www.daycarter.com. Ken’s family wishes to thank the special people of Stonebridge Health Campus, who became his extended family and where he called home during his residence there.
