I searched for all female Portwoods who were born in 1954 and died in 1985 no one was found. I even tried all females born in 1954 Ohio (my guess on birthplace due to state where SS number was issued), and died in 1985 in case she died under another surname, nothing found here either. If you do know where she died you can write to the county clerk where the death occurred, and request a copy of the death certificate, you may want to check to see how much that county charges for their copies.
