Barbara H. Porter Obituary (1928

Barbara H. Porter, age 89, was called home, to that God who gave her life, on July 7, 2014. Barbara passed away peacefully at her home in Provo, Utah. Those who were fortunate enough to know and love Barbara knew she was a very unique lady – absolutely one of a kind! Barbara prized her education, her extensive world travel, and she was very well-read and kept herself up to date with a daily reading (or study!) of her Wall Street Journal. A very intelligent lady – every conversation with Barbara was like being in a history class, and her quick wit could be both shocking and hilarious at once. She loved her country, and took great pride in her home and yard. In both life and death, Barbara was a very exemplary and generous supporter of multiple charitable organizations. She loved her pet dogs and her kind neighbors – especially her neighbor’s little children! Barbara, we love you, and you will most certainly be missed. Friends and family are invited to her viewing and a tribute to Barbara – both will be brief, in keeping with Barbara’s nature and wishes. Viewing will be held from 6:00-6:30 p.m., followed by a tribute from 6:30-7:00 p.m., Friday, July 11, at Berg Mortuary, 500 N State St, Orem, UT.
