On December 28, 1967 she married Cecil O. Porter Sr. in Rockford, IL. He passed away on April 20, 2003. Beulah was a homemaker, and also was employed by General Electric in Morrison. She had a huge love for animals, especially Arabian horses, and enjoyed antiques and was fond of garage sales. She was proud of her children and grandchildren and treasured the large family gatherings and dinners, and sharing many stories. She was thankful for the simple things in life and never took a single thing for granted. Beulah was a strong Christian and had a huge heart for the people she cared for. She will be remembered for being a very social, strong, independent and determined person. She would accomplish anything she set her mind to. She will be missed by so many that knew her. Rest in peace Beulah, until we see you again – fly high.
