It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nancy J. Porter, of West Sunbury, beloved wife, mother, and dedicated farm girl who left us suddenly on November 22, 2025 at the age of 67 from injuries sustained in a farm accident.

Nancy was born on December 16, 1957 in Concord Township as the daughter of the late Donald E. “Cowboy” and Lois P. “Becky” Cumberland McKinney. She spent her life nurturing both her family and land that she loved. Nancy was a true embodiment of strength and compassion. She met the love of her life Charles E. Porter and married on July 10, 1976. Their partnership thrived for 49 years. Together they built a home filled with love, laughter, and countless memories on their family farm. Her unwavering commitment to her family in everything she did will never be forgotten. As a mother, Nancy, was nurturing and supportive always cheering her boys on in football and at horse pulls. She celebrated their victories no matter how small and offered comfort during difficult times. Her children often recall her warm hugs, her homemade cookies and making their childhood magical. Aside from her family, Nancy had a deep connection to the farm working tirelessly tending to crops, cattle, and horses and sharing her passion for farming with her family, friends, and neighbors.
