5 grandchildren Alex (Dani) Porter of Tempe, AZ, Lauren (Michael) Sheinker of

brother Dennis (Kathy) Riebe of Scottsdale, AZ; a brother William Riebe of
Munster, and many nieces and nephews. Barbara was preceded in death by her
parents, her husband of 52 years Lonnie Porter, and her sons Garry and Mark.
Barb was a very outgoing and energetic person who was deeply involved in her
family activities including the boy’s school, sports and scouts. The Porter home
was always a place for fun gatherings and in the summer the party moved up to
their cabin in Michigan. Barb was always in the center of conversation and
activity. She loved spending time in Arizona and California with her grandkids
and will be missed dearly by her friends and family.
A private service will be held for the family on Saturday, March 26. Arrangements
are being handled by Kish Funeral Home in Munster.
