Margaret G Porter

of Fort Pierce, FL

October 22, 1926 - January 10, 2021

On Sunday January 10, 2021, Margaret Glee Porter went to be with her Lord from the home of her daughter Karen and Berry Winn in Ft. Pierce Florida at the age of 94.

Margaret was born on October 22, 1926 in Hickory Flat/ Mount Olive, Arkansas at the home of her parents, Kent and Jewell Crisler. She was the baby of the family by 9 years. She was preceded in death by: her parents, her husband Rev. Melvin Porter,siblings, brother Rex Crisler, wife Jane, sisters Helma Froud, husband Bill and Faye Froud and husband Harry. She was survived by three children: Two sons; Michael and wife Delores, Keith and wife Patti, and one daughter; Karen Winn and husband Berry, 5 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, three step great grandchildren, and 6 step great-great grandchildren.

Margaret married the love of her life, Evangelist Melvin Porter on November 20, 1945 after getting saved in his revival. His calling quickly became her ministry too, and she was the wind beneath his wings. Her musical gifts were passed down from her grandmother and both parents. She ministered in every service with her outstanding voice and piano, as they pastored and evangelized. All the while, giving much devotion to helping her children develop their own talents, they later became The Porter Family Trio. Rev. Melvin Porter and his trio were a team and traveled over a five state area, and were delegated as Church of God State Evangelist Team for Mississippi and Alabama. Their great faith, talents and ministry live on through generations after them; will we pick up the mantle and join God's last day great Army?

Visitation will be held at Roller-Daniel Funeral Home 1:00 PM January 16, 2021 with Funeral to follow at 2:00 PM. Interment will be at White County Memorial Gardens.

CDC COVID-19 guidelines will be followed including face coverings and social distancing.

Rex was my dad’s favorite cousin and Margaret was just as special to him. He spoke often and with genuine admiration of them. And I’ll always remember his words to me about Bro Melvin, that he was a Prince among preachers. I remember well the services he and Margaret and kids would hold at Mt Olive. A generation of character that this world may never see the likes of again.
My prayers and thoughts are with you, Mike, Keith and Karen, through this time of the loss of your very special mom, now praising the savior in the presence of angels.

It has been along time since I've seen the Porters. Remember, stories from my father in law
Rev. Leon Patterson of their younger years on ministry.
Truly , this family was a blessing.
Our prayers are with each of you.
