Joan B. Porter (1936 – 2022)
Joan B. Porter, 85, of Upper Saucon Township died Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2022, at her residence.
She was the wife of Franklyn J. Porter for over 60 years. Joan was born in Uniontown, Pa., on Dec. 22, 1936, to the late John and Helen (Vojtkovsky) Hudock and was predeceased by her brother, James. As a teacher’s aide in the Palisades School District for over 30 years, she enhanced the lives of many young children who knew her only as “Mrs. P” until her retirement.
