Angela Lynn Porter

With heavy hearts we announce Angela Lynn Porter (11) of Bow passed away due to a short illness Thursday Jan 29, 2015 at Elliot Hospital surrounded by family. Angie was born August 11, 2003 in Franklin. She was in sixth grade at Bow Memorial School.

Angela loved animals especially cats! She was in karate for 5 years and was in her second year of playing saxophone. Angela loved to read, was an awesome student and enjoyed her math, science, Art, and music classes at school.

Her smile, bouncy steps, and short laugh will be missed by family, classmates, friends and school personnel.

Angela was the daughter of Kenneth Porter of Concord and Lisa Lindquist of Bow and the little sister of Lauren Porter of Bow. In addition to her immediate family she is survived by her paternal grandparents Gerry Porter of Florida and Jewel and Peter LaPointe of Belmont, maternal grandparents David and Eva Lindquist of Bow and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.

A celebration of her life and reception to follow will be held at Bow Mills United Methodist Church 505 South street in Bow 4:00 pm Wednesday February 4. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Angela Porter Scholarship fund in care of Merrimack County Savings Bank.

Angela’s Aunt Gerri created a fundraising account to help the family with the funeral and medical costs. Any money left over will go toward a scholarship fund that we want to develop and give in Angela’s name. The link is
