Mary Margaret Porche
Mary Margaret Porche, of Edna, Texas, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the age of 74. She was born in Victoria, Texas on July 20, 1949, to the late Jack Gray and Dorothy Hardy Porche.
She lived in Edna for most of her life and after graduating from Edna High School married her husband, Francis Porche. She was a caring and devoted mother to her five children who also dedicated her life to caring for others outside the family, a passion she pursued as a dedicated LVN for decades.
Margaret is survived by her daughters, Helene Porche, Melissa Porche, Jessica Smith, and son in law
Bobby; and sons Aaron Porche, Willie Porche, and daughter in law Kathleen; her brother Carl Gray and
sister-in-law Mira; and her grandchildren, Anthony Porche, Kaylie Neuman; Kansas Villareal, Kody Smith, Peyton Porche, and Harper Porche.
One of the greatest joys of her life was getting to see her grandson Anthony graduate from college, her
granddaughters, Kaylie, and Kansas get married recently to their husbands Wyatt and Deryk and watching her other grandson Kody on Friday night football streams.
Margaret also found companionship and solace in her four dogs, who she adored and missed while in the hospital. Beyond her professional and family life, Margaret had a passion for literature. Being a night
nurse for most of her life, she wasn’t used to sleeping at normal hours so she could often be found immersed in a good book in the middle of the night.
She is preceded in death by her father Jack Gray, her mother Dorothy Porche and stepfather Willie Porche, her husband, Francis Porche; and brother, Wiliam Gray.
She will be greatly missed by everyone.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. in the Oaklawn Funeral Home Chapel in Edna, Texas.
Arrangements are under the direction of Oaklawn Funeral Home in Edna. 361-782-2221.
