Margie LaPorte

She was preceded in death by her husband Maynard J. LaPorte and her son James Clayton LaPorte.

She is survived by her children Cynthia Holliday and husband Andrew. Valerie McGill and husband John. Darren LaPorte and wife Camille. Daughter-in-law Lillian LaPorte. She is also survived by several grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and siblings Zelda Housand, George Huggins III, and Jennie Lee Hunter.

Most mornings “MeMa” could be found walking around her yard enjoying the flowers and her summer garden. When not at home, she could be seen dancing with the Summerville Shag Club at multiple venues around town. Another lifelong love has been casting a rod in any body of water. She loved fishing whether in a boat or on the bank- just tell her the day and she was ready. Painting was a hobby that she shared with her sister Zelda. They would have the best time talking, critiquing, and snacking on Moon pies. Her family will miss her “MeMa-isms” and her love of people and life.
