Margie was a graduate of West Division High School in 1953. In 1956, she met Harry Borchardt at her job at Capitol - Husting where they were both employed. Harry passed away in 1966. Margie's passion was her own children, and all the other children that she cared for throughout her life. She loved knitting, crocheting, and baking and won several awards at the State Fair. Her Christmas cookies were legendary as well as the kindness that was felt by all those whose lives she touched.
Memorials to the Veterans Honor Flight or Wounded Warriors preferred.
Rest in peace Margie, until we meet again.
