Betty Ann Porco

Betty Ann Porco, 69, of Uhrichsville, died Sunday, October 26, 2014 in Community Hospice House at New Philadelphia following a period of declining health.

A daughter of the late Fred and Beulah (Wykle) Patrick, Betty was born January 12, 1945 at Canton, Ohio.

Betty loved to visit with friends and family. She was a wonderful conversationalist who related to people of all ages. She was very fortunate to have many special visitors over the past few months who made her laugh with pleasant memories. She also enjoyed gardening. Betty and Ernie loved to share their tomatoes, peppers, basil and other goodies from their garden. She also enjoyed her flowers that lined the walkways around her home. She and Ernie also liked spoiling their grandchildren and they rarely used the word “No”. Betty will be missed by many.

She is survived by her husband, Ernie Porco whom she married on July 5, 1994; two sons, Bob (Lisa) Alsept of New Philadelphia and Eric Alsept of Bolivar; step children, Kathy Morgan, Lisa Wagner, Tina (Ron) Amstutz, Ernie (Amy) Porco, Angie (Dave) Owens, Mike (Misty) Porco and Julia Porco; her grandchildren, Aleia, Alexa and Kaden; her step grandchildren, Amanda, Katie, Eddie, Cassandra, Ashley, Chelsea (Brandon), Lauren, Nikki (Jordan), Ernie (Taylor), Rochelle (Jamie), Lindsey (Brandon), Marvin, Mike, Parker, Ian, Luke, Taylor, Vanessa and Nathan; her step great grandchildren, Theo, Hunter, Grayson, Allie and Raelyn; her sister, Freida McLane of Uhrichsville and three nieces, Denise (Roger), Robyn (Chris) and Nikki.
