Clare Bernadette Porter

March 21, 1945 - December 6, 2020

Clare Bernadette Porter, 75, residing in Powell, Ohio, peacefully fell asleep on Sunday, December 6, 2020 and is awaiting the return of her lord and savior Jesus Christ. Clare was born on March 21, 1945 to Michael and Marcella Lisiewski in Jersey City, New Jersey. She is survived by her two sisters Ann and Betty and her two sons Joe Naviello and his wife Kim of Little Elm, Texas and Rick Naviello and his wife Heather of Columbus, Ohio and her five grandchildren, Chase, Jared, Mikayla, Gabe, and Nora. Clare has faithfully participated in The Way International Biblical Research, Teaching, and Fellowship ministry since 1986 when she took the ministry’s foundational class on the Bible. Clare and her late husband Mike served for many years coordinating a Bible fellowship in their home in Somerset, New Jersey before retiring in 2011 to Georgetown, Kentucky. Besides opening their home for fellowship, they also hosted parties, celebrations, and the like because they loved being hospitable and showing God’s love and goodness to others. After Mike fell asleep in 2016, Clare moved to Ohio to live with her son (Joe) and his family in New Knoxville, Ohio, where she served as volunteer Staff at The Way International Headquarters and participated in a Bible fellowship in New Bremen, Ohio. While there, she had the opportunity to perform for many believers singing with the Household Harmonies group. Later she moved to Powell, Ohio to be near her son (Rick) and his family and faithfully participated in the work of the ministry. Clare loved God, loved learning about God and loved speaking God’s Word, inviting others to “come and see”. She loved to laugh and tease her family and friends and was happiest being together with them fellowshipping and breaking bread. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all those who knew her. There will be a virtual recognition service on December 19th at 1:30 PM EST via Zoom. The Zoom invite is below.
