Martha Porter Obituary
Martha Porter
Martha (Cayer) Porter passed away on March 17, 2024 in Assiniboia SK at the Ross Payant Centennial Nursing Home. Martha was born on December 28, 1942 in Willow Bunch, SK to Albert and Gertrude (nee Therrien) Cayer and lovingly raised by her Aunt and Uncle Leona (nee Cayer) and Alcide Beauchesne. She had a wonderful upbringing filled with music, dance and a loving family; she was always happy to share her gift of music through her singing and piano playing. In 1963 she married Marvin Porter and together they had two daughters. Martha worked at the school as teacher's aid and librarian for three years and later became the first Librarian for the Palliser Regional Library. Changing her career path she worked for many years at the Willow Bunch Credit Union, enjoying the work and the people. In 1989 Martha and Gordon MacLean established their home on the farm two miles north of Fife Lake, SK. She enjoyed the peace and quiet of farm living; her love of outdoors had her working among the trees, flowers and her garden, as well as helping Gordon with the farming where she could. She always said it was a rewarding hobby that was strong medicine for the soul. Left to cherish her memory is her partner of 34 years Gordon MacLean; daughter Suzanne (Cameron) Marit, grandson Brett (Maria), great-grandson Brahn; granddaughter Kara (Ryan) Lesperance, great-grandchildren Cohen and McKenna; daughter Karen (Gary) Swan-Theriault, grandson Ryan (Gina) Swan, great-grandchildren Austin and Mia; granddaughter Karissa (Brad) Mryglod, great-grandchildren Sutter and Brady; her sister Lilliane Joyal, sister-in-law Peggy Cayer, Cameron (Shirley) MacLean, Maureen Shelstad and numerous nieces and nephews. Martha was predeceased by her siblings Henriette, Maurice and Paul, son-in-law Jody Swan, closely cherished family members Evelyne Beausoleil and Yvette Ingrand. A heartfelt thanks to the caring staff at RPNH, Dr. Carulei and everyone that reached out to us at this time in every way. Our family is forever grateful for all your kindness and support. A family graveside service and gathering will be held at a later date. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy for the Porter family may be shared at www.rossfuneralservice.com. Arrangements entrusted to Ross Funeral Service, Assiniboia, SK 306-642-3373.
