Deloris Joyce Borger, 80, of Riverbank, Calif. passed away quietly at home on Saturday, May 2, 2009. She had fought a brief bout with cancer. Although death claimed victory in this battle, the final victory has already been won by the Lord, and Deloris is in His presence now. She is awaiting, along with the rest of the saints, her final resurrection at Jesus' second coming. She is a member of Orangeburg Avenue Baptist Church in Modesto.

She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Richard Borger, three sons and their wives: Richard and Dianna Borger of Modesto, David and Patricia Borger of South Elgin, Ill., and Todd and Timberley Borger of Louisville, Ky.; grandchildren Krislynne Wallace of Modesto, Emily, Michael and Nicholas Borger of South Elgin, and Samuel Borger of Louisville; step-grandchildren Nicholas Hess of Long Beach and Douglas Hess of Modesto, and one step-great-grandson. She is also survived by her sister Alice West of Santa Clarita, nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her brother, James Neblett, and sister, Leola Wymer. She was also preceded in death by her granddaughter, Anna Borger.

Deloris was born in Joplin, Mo. and graduated from Joplin High School in 1947. She married Richard Borger in 1952 and moved with him to his home state of California where they spent the rest of their lives. They lived in Southern California, where their three sons were born, until 1971, when they moved to the San Francisco area. From 1973 until 2005, they lived in Half Moon Bay. They then moved to their present home in Riverbank. Deloris worked in several jobs during her life, but she spent the most time as an employee of the Cabrillo Unified School District in Half Moon Bay.

Deloris was a faithful and dependable woman and will be most remembered as a woman who loved her family, took care of her husband, and raised three devoted sons. She was a loving and caring grandmother, always ready to play another game with her grandchildren. She was adventurous and spontaneous. Richard and Deloris shared many things together, but they especially loved traveling. Together they visited all 50 states. They rode by motorcycle to Canada. They traveled by RV to Alaska. They traveled to Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia. Their favorite vacation place was Hawaii. Deloris will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
