Esther Louise (Mathews) Spivey, age 86, of Tipton, Indiana, passed away on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, in Indianapolis at Rosegate Village. Esther was born in Michigantown, Indiana on October 25, 1935, to her parents, William & Ethel (Kimble) Mathews.
Esther attended Frankfort High School. While she didn’t graduate during her high school years, she did attend night school at Emerson High School in Gary, Indiana and earned her diploma in 1964. She worked at Steel Parts in Tipton for 30 years before retiring. Esther’s faith in the Lord was very strong and was incredibly important to her.
Esther was a loving but stern mother; her children knew the sternness came from a place of love. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and always supported them in whatever they chose to do. She was their biggest fan!
Esther loved to make others laugh, always joking and pranking. She was ornery and proud of it! She would say, “Who’s going to stop me?” Afterall, she earned the right to be as ornery as she wanted to be.
Those left to carry on Esther’s legacy of love are her children, Brenda (Charlie) Morrissett, David (Sindy) Porter, Dan (Julee) Porter, Steve Porter; grandchildren, Joe Temple, Amber Porter, Cammie French, James Porter, Dan Porter, Shia Kohrs, Neal Porter, Jonathan Elliott, Jessica Elliott, David Porter, Matthew Porter; great-grandchildren, Brittany Temple, Brooklyn Temple, Brady Temple, Kolton Temple, Cassie Mae Sexton, Madison Sanders, Kevin Sanders Jr., Dillon Porter, Elaina Porter, Charlotte Kohrs, Jackson Kohrs, Riley Porter, Levi Porter, Easton Elliott, Julian Elliott; and several nieces and nephews.
