Eula Dora Guess Porter passed away on January 19, 2011, at home in West 
Monroe. She was born in Cadeville, LA to Ida and Ben Guess on September 10, 
1907. She was raised on a farm in the Eros area and graduated from Okaloosa 
High School. She moved to West Monroe wih her sister, Sallie Mae who was 
attending Northeast University. Eula went to work to help support them both. 
While on her job, she met her true love, C.J. "Buddy" Porter. They married and 
had two children, a son, Billy Joe Porter and a daughter, Barbara Porter Doyle.

Later they built a home in the Ranson Field area, where they lived a life 
together for 49 years.

Eula was a happy homemaker and loved working in her yard and garden. She was 
the happiest sitting in a boat fishing with her husband on Cheniere Lake. She 
was well known for her special "Coconut Cake" which she baked for friends, 
even into her nineties. Most important, Eula was a "Prayer Warrior" and 
everyone that came to visit her would put their picture in her home on 
the "Wall of Eyes" so Eula could pray for them. She was a true Christian woman 
that lived her life devoted to her church and her family.

She was a member of The Pentecostals of the Twin Cities and a member of the 
Sunshine Club where she had many friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, a sister, Sallie 
Pardue; brothers, Lonnie, Daniel, Willie and Eslie Guess and a grandson, Josh 
Porter.

Survivors are her son, Billy Joe Porter and his wife, Kathy of Jonesboro;

and Brandon Thompson and Jennifer Barrow and her husband, Chad of DeQuincy, 
LA; 2 great great grandchildren, Sadie and Sarah Barrow; a very special niece, 
Frances Baker of Benton, LA and best friend, Virginia Simrall of West Monroe.
