From Chronicle-Tribune.com: 'Jenita Porfilio, 64, known throughout Grant County for her community work, died Wednesday after being struck by a car while riding a bicycle in rural Ontario. [Her husband] Dan was riding directly behind her when the accident happened... "From where I was, I could see everything," Dan Porfilio said. A car came around a curve out of control, he said. It crossed the centreline... Jenita was at the front of the cyclists and could not avoid the car... which was coming at her sideways when the collision happened. The car struck her bike, and she was pitched about 30 feet in the air, landing in a nearby ditch... Her son, Richard... said his mother did so much with her life. "She loved to ride," he said.'
