Rose R Porter

Rebecca (Becky) Porter passed away comfortably, with family members at her side, during the early evening hours of September 23, 2014. She lived to be 83. She was born in Lenola, NJ (Cooper Hospital in Camden, NJ) on December 20, 1930 to parents John Evans Haines, Jr. (a farmer) and Rose Teresa Lynch (a homemaker and waitress) as their only child. Becky graduated from Moorestown High School and then worked various secretarial jobs until she met her husband. She married David William Porter of Maple Shade, NJ. They lived in Moorestown, NJ and in 1962 moved to a little town at the Jersey shore called Waretown. From 1965 to the 1990’s, together, they ran a very successful, custom home building business in Waretown and Forked River, NJ. Becky was a stay-at-home mom by choice and raised three fabulous children. Following the passing of her husband in the late 1990’s, Becky moved to Stuart, Florida. She is predeceased by her husband and will now join him to continue their gardening chores from up above. She is survived by her three children, Linda Fox (Sam), David Porter (Jan), and Joanne Porter, as well as her three, cherished grandchildren, Nicole Fox, Ashley Porter, and Kellie Fox.
