Notes for JOSEPH P BORLIK:

Joseph P. Borlik

            March 19, 1912 - Jan. 29, 1999

            Joseph P. Borlik, 86, of Inwood Road, North Liberty, Ind., died

            after a two-week illness at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 29, in Saint

            Joseph's Care Center.

            Mr. Borlik retired in 1976 as an assembly supervisor with RACO. He

            worked there for over 42 years. He also continued to farm.

            He was born on March 19, 1912, in Crumstown, to Steve and Anna

            (Makielski). On April 20, 1940, in South Bend, Ind., Joseph married

            Elizabeth Wroblewski. For more than 50 years of their married life,

            they lived and farmed on the same road that Borliks have lived on

            since the 1880's.

            Elizabeth survives along with a daughter, Kathleen Borlik of South

            Bend; two sons, Thomas (Darlene) of Granger, Ind.; and William

            (Davina) of North Liberty; four grandchildren, Jeffrey Borlik, of

            Redondo Beach, Calif.; Emily Borlik of Granger; Laura and Michael

            Borlik, both of North Liberty; two sisters, Evelyn Stroobandt of

            South Bend and Henrietta Bilinski of North Liberty; two brothers,

            Leonard Borlik and Stanley (Dorothy) Borlik, both of South Bend; and

            by two sisters-in-law, Frances Andrews and Martha Wyant, both of

            South Bend.

            He was preceded in death by a daughter, Mary Ann Borlik; a sister,

            Margaret Marshall; and by a brother, Edward Borlik.

            Family and friends may call from 2 until 8 p.m. today in the St.

            Joseph Funeral Home, 824 S. Mayflower Road, where a Rosary will be

            said at 4 p.m. Services will be at 11 a.m. on Monday at St.

            Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church, Terre Coupee, with burial to

            follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.

            Mr. Borlik was a member of St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church and

            of the ushers club.

            The family, the farm and the church were always important to our

            Dad. As a farmer, he appreciated the land, the first strawberry

            blossoms, the first red tomato, the spring rain and hard work. A day

            was not completed until the last chore was done and then it was time

            to sit on the backyard swing.

            Dad had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to tell stories of

            plowing with horses, selling newspapers and dances at the Crumstown

            Hall.

            Although he is gone, there will be countless stories that will come

            to mind over the years. We will always miss him.

            Obituaries for 2001/10/06

 

            Elizabeth A. Borlik

            Sept. 29, 1913 - Oct. 4, 2001

            Elizabeth A. Borlik, 88, formerly of Inwood Road, North Liberty,

            died at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Country Care West, Brick Road, after a four year illness.

            She was born Sept. 29, 1913, to Joseph and Mary (Glon) Wroblewski in

            New Carlisle, Ind. She had lived in the area her entire life.

            Elizabeth was a 1934 graduate of Central High School. Her desire to attend

      nursing school was put aside because of the Depression and she went

     to work at Ball Band in Mishawaka.

            She married Joseph P. Borlik on April 20, 1940. They lived on the

            Crumstown farm for more than 50 years. He died on Jan. 29, 1999. She

            is also preceded in death by a daughter, Mary Ann Borlik; and three

            sisters, Stella Bladecki, Helen Wroblewski and Theresa Wroblewski.

            Elizabeth is survived by a daughter, Kathleen Borlik of South Bend;

            two sons, Thomas (Darlene) of Granger and William (Davina) of North

            Liberty; four grandchildren, Jeffrey of Los Angeles, Calif., Emily

            Borlik of Chicago, Ill., Laura and Michael Borlik, both of North

            Liberty; two sisters, Martha Wyant and Frances Andrews, both of

            South Bend; sisters-in-law, Evelyn Strootbandt of South Bend and

            Henrietta Bilinski of North Liberty; and brothers-in-law, Leonard

            Borlik and Stanley (Dorothy) Borlik, both of South Bend. She is also

            survived by her caregivers, Vel and Bob Nielsen, their family and

            their loving staff.

            Elizabeth was a member of St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church and

            the Rosary Sodality.

            Mom was the consummate housekeeper, Polish cook and mother. She

            worried about everything - the children, grandchildren, the weather

            and Roxie the dog. We will long remember the apple pies, noodles and

            cakes that appeared each weekend. We were all nudged, hovered over

            and reminded at holidays to keep eating because there was more.

            Spring cleaning and laundry were her professions and ironing an

            avocation. We think the angels will be a lot neater because Mom has

            taken the steam iron.

            She enjoyed a shopping trip with Kate and her endless searches for

            the perfect black suit and a com fortable pair of walking shoes. She

            loved to end a summer day on the front porch or backyard swing with

            Dad listening to stories and crickets. We will miss her dearly but

            now she doesn't have to worry, as much.

            Friends may call from 2 to 8 p.m. Sunday in Kaniewski Funeral Home,

            3545 N. Bendix Drive, where a parish rosary will be said at 6 p.m. A

            funeral Mass will be at 11 a.m. Monday at St. Stanislaus Kostka

            Catholic Church, Terre Coupee. Burial will be at St. Joseph Cemetery.

            Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of St. Joseph County

            or the church.
