Anne was born in Anderson, SC on September 3, 1926 to Rev. Hoyt Echols Porter and Lura Ella King Porter.  She was a graduate of Leslie County High School in Hyden, Kentucky; Mars Hill University in Mars Hill, NC; and Western Kentucky University.  She taught physical education and science for many years in the public schools in Vine Grove, KY; Hopkinsville, KY; and Bowling Green.  She was an active member of First Baptist Church of Bowling Green and a leader in its ministry to immigrant families.  A lifelong learner, she and Chet enjoyed traveling to Elderhostels and visiting grandchildren at college and work.  She was always ready to hike, swim, play games and read to the little ones.  Her loving kindness to everyone she encountered was a living demonstration of her Christian faith.
