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.

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.
