Porter (Blanch), Priscilla Age 83 of Bloomington passed away unexpectedly on July 23, 2019. Survived by loving husband of 65 years, Roger; children Cyndi, Bruce, Karen and Gary Porter; grandchildren Alec, Ethan, Isaiah and Aaliyah; brother Frederick Blanch and his daughter Susan, her children Simone and Marley; brother-in-law Richard Porter (Judy) and their family Susan, Lynne and Jim; granddog Morgan. Also survived by many friends and co-workers. Preceded in death by parents Frederick and Beulah Blanch. Priscilla was born in Owatonna, MN. She was raised in Southwest Minneapolis and graduated from Southwest High School. She married Roger in 1954 and together they raised their family in Bloomington, after a brief stint in Riverside, CA. Priscilla spent 50 of her years working for David Fong's Restaurant, where she was a trusted employee, retiring at age 82 - she treasured Fong's, everything, everyone. She had a knack for making friends and lasting friendships. Priscilla played bridge and adored her bridge friendships, which date back 60 years. Gardening and entertaining (especially during the holidays) were passions during her golden years. As a young mom, involved enthusiastically in her children's activities; brownie leader, baseball scorekeeper, and downhill skiing timekeeper. Musically gifted with a penchant for the piano and church choir. Impeccable penmanship. An avid Twins, Vikings and North Stars fan, known to wear those emotions on her sleeve. A "good egg", as she would call others worthy of it; and her glass, half-full, always! Yet most significant, she was a loving and devoted wife, mom and grandmother who simply enjoyed life. She will be missed deeply. An open house celebration of her life will be held at David Fong's Restaurant, 9329 Lyndale Ave S., Bloomington from noon to 4PM, on Wednesday August 14, with a lunch buffet starting at 1PM and remembrance circa 3PM. Purple was her favorite color; feel free to wear a little or wear a lot and share your memories. Private interment Fort Snelling National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations to purchase a memorial bench in a location yet to be determined. Washburn-McReavy.com Edina Chapel 952-920-3996
