Mrs. Jennifer Porter

Jen passed away on Monday, November 13, after a long and brave battle with carcinoid cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family, and was cared for by the amazing nurses and doctors at Brigham & Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber, to whom her family will forever be grateful.

She lived a wonderful life, and wished to express her deep love and gratitude to her family and friends who made it so. Jen is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Hap, as well as her daughter, Laurent, and son, Gordon. She is also survived by her father, John R. Newkirk, her brother, JB and his wife Jane, sister Kim and her husband Alan, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that gifts be made to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Jennifer’s memory, to support further advancements in neuroendocrine and carcinoid tumor research and patient care.
