She is survived by daughters, JoAnn F. Borchers of St. Augustine, Joyce E. McGourk of Mableton, Ga.; and sons, Jerry N. Borchers and John C. Borchers, both of Tipp City, Ohio, and James A. Borchers of Mason, Ohio. She also leaves nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. this morning at St. Johns Family Funeral Home, with the Rev. Steven Giannetta officiating. Another memorial service will be held a Moultrie Creek Nursing & Rehabilitation Center at a later date.
