She also told her boys no matter how old they were to drive safe, be careful and I love you. She also loved watching the dogs play, but family was the most important to her. Her greatest accomplishment was her boys. She wanted her boys to grow up and be polite, strong men. She is survived by her husband Marty; sons, Zac (Heather), Jake (Shannon), Clay (Melissa) and Kale (Debbie); father, Layne Porter; four grandchildren, Cody, Hannah, Greta, and Brock; one brother, Jimmy (Lisa) Porter, and one sister, JoAnne (Lee) Whiting; dogs, Riley, Pete, and Cash.
