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.
