Virginia M. Borck

Virginia M. Borck, age 85, of Lewiston, MN, passed away peacefully with family by her side on January 30, 2025, at the Lewiston Senior Living.

Virginia Marie was born on January 8, 1940, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to Raymond and Dorothy (Jeure) Smith. She spent most of her life dedicated to her family and community, most recently residing in Lewiston, Minnesota. Virginia was married to her beloved husband, Donald, on April 23, 1960, in Hokah, Minnesota. They enjoyed 64 years happily married, and together, they created a loving home filled with joy and compassion.

Virginia found immense joy in baking, making homemade cards, and collecting stamps. She had a sweet tooth for chocolates and cherished the music of Elvis Presley. Her true happiness came from spending time with her family and friends, and she was an active and devoted member of her church congregation. Virginia’s favorite place was by Donny's side, where they shared countless memories and experiences.

She was the proud mother of six children: Robert (Kelly) Borck, Lorie (Randy) Rolbiecki, Dan Borck, Kenneth (Carol) Borck, Mark (Kathy) Borck, and Bill (Andrea) Borck. Virginia also had the privilege of being a grandmother to many, including: Dan (Ana), Jake, Mandi (Paul), Jessie, Johnny, Paul, David, Marcus (Morgan), Emily, Andrew, Brandon (Gabagail), Christa, Caitlyn, and Cambria. She was blessed with 6 great-grandkids and 2 granddogs, Gus and Penelope. Virginia was the cherished sister of Theresa Haniful, Larry (Maree) Smith, and the late Shirley (Gordan) Goyette. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Throughout her life, Virginia had a profound love for animals, especially cats, and her beloved dog Panda which brought her great comfort and companionship. She enjoyed a fulfilling career at the Filmore County DAC and the Winona County DAC, where she took great pride in helping others and making a positive impact in their lives.

Virginia's legacy of love, kindness, and devotion will forever be remembered by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
