Mrs. Borden was employed as a Nursing Assistant, at Decatur General Hospital, where she worked on 2nd floor East and retired from a career, co-workers and patients, that she loved like family. She was married for 74 years to her true love, Roy. Mrs. Borden was a member of the Oak Park Church of God since 1948 and served in many roles for as long as she was physically able. She enjoyed baking wedding cakes, for family and friends, but after retiring she became a full-time grandmother and great grandmother, that never missed an opportunity to bake homemade biscuits and gravy for her family.
