Her previous membership was at Alta Mere Baptist Church. Children were her favorite ministry to which she taught Sunday school, GAs and Mission Friends for as long as she was physically able. They were her joy! She made everyone feel loved and accepted and always spoke well of others.

She and her husband loved to travel, camping as much as possible. They accomplished their goal of traveling to all 50 states. She was preceded in death by her husband, Burnett "B.C." Porter.
