Sara Jeanette Porter, age 83, peacefully passed away on Sunday, November 24, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 10, 1941, in Norcross, GA, she was the daughter of the late Andrew Jackson and Fannie May Clay.

Jeanette was known for her kind and generous nature, always ready to lend a hand to others. She also had a deep passion for sports, especially cheering on her favorite teams.

In addition to her parents, Jeanette was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 45 years, Bobby Porter; brother Waymon Clay, and sister Jean Crocker.

Jeanette is survived by her son Rickey (Kivion) Porter; daughter Tasha (Jason) Leatherwood; grandchildren Jamey Porter, Mayson Leatherwood, Rylan Leatherwood, Katey Porter, and Patrick Porter.
