It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved long-time supporter, Catherine “Tee” Porter. 

Friends called her a “gracious Southern lady,” a “grand dame” who knew how to get things done—with humor and grace. To Frazer Center, she was one of our earliest board members, a hands-on volunteer, and an ardent fan and supporter for six decades. 

She generously shared her time, resources, and passion for our mission. Her kindness touched the lives of so many in our community. Tee's spirit will forever be a part of the Frazer Center, and we are grateful for the profound impact she had on our work and our community.

In 2020, during the pandemic, Frazer Center honored Catherine Tee Porter with a virtual event at which we shared this video about her and her legacy.
