Before that, she worked at Shalecross in Selma, NC. Known for her warm smile and kind heart, Portia had a special love for flowers and enjoyed spending her time sewing. Her creativity and commitment were evident not only in her hobbies but in her service as a member of the Eastern Star (Alpine Lodge) and Bethany ARP Church, where her faith flourished for many years.
