Celebrating the life of
Dorothy Ann Porter McNerney
Passed away on August 22, 2018
Dorothy Ann Porter McNerney was born September 12, 1940, and died Wednesday, August 22, 2018. She graduated from Savannah High School and Armstrong College. She wed Charles F. (Chuck) McNerney in 1965 and they moved to Atlanta where they remained until early 2000 after which they moved back to Savannah and salt water roots. She enjoyed traveling, bridge, and most of all her nieces, nephews, and lots of loyal friends.
She was predeceased by her husband, Chuck, parents Fred and Kate Porter, sister Betty, and brother Harold.
She leaves behind two sisters, Jenny Lee, Atlanta, and Kathy Smith, Statesboro, and many nieces and nephews who were her "kids". She was loved and supported by all of them and her beloved friends who helped care for her. We are grateful to Ogeechee Hospice for their extraordinary kindness and care this past week.
We are comforted knowing she is in good Hands.
Graveside services are scheduled for Saturday, August 25th, at 3:30 p.m.at Bonaventure Cemetery, Greenwich Section, with Pastor Robert Braswell officiating.
There will be a celebration to honor her remarkable and blessed life after the service at 4:45 p.m. at Savannah Golf Club, 1661 East President Street.
In lieu of flowers, please send remembrances to Ogeechee Area Hospice, P.O. Box 531, Statesboro, GA 30459-0531.

Thinking of the family at this time and of my dear friend Dottie whom we shared many good times together growing up and at reunions over the years. Enjoyed our last visit at the small reunion in the Spring in Savannah. Sorry I could not be there today to say a final good-bye.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Dottie's family. Our Armstrong days were filled with bridge, cheerleading, a little study, and creating wonderful memories. My memories of Dottie are of loveliness and graciousness.

To of the Dodge family she will always be Dottie Porter our unadopted sister. Dottie and Sue had a girls weekend at Dotties during the recent Savh High reunion and remembered tales of life from preteen to two widows. She had a happy life which is what we all hope for and admire her life for it. Our condolence to the extended family. Sharon, "Bubby" and Sue Dodge

We were best friends, actually more like "sisters", growing up. We shared so many wonderfully childhood memories of a time that was safe and secure. I will always cherish those years and the love of your family that was freely given to me. God Bless you, l will always keep you in my heart. I

My condolences to Jenny, Kathy, and their families. Dorothy is, as you said, in good hands. For God "will long for the work of his hands", and "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". (Job 14:14,15; John 5:28,29)
