Mariann Borkowski

May 26, 1943 — February 2, 2024

Mariann Borkowski, peacefully passed away on February 2, 2024 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on May 26, 1943, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mariann's kindness touched all who knew her throughout her 80 years of life.


Mariann was preceded in death by the love of her life, husband Brian. She is survived by her brother Mike (Judy); loving daughters, Lori (Gene) and Karen (John); her grandchildren, Jason (Allie), Ryan (Liz), Alyssa (Kyle), and Katelyn; and her great-grandchildren, Hayden, Reid, Layne, and Eli. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever be remembered and live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.


Mariann, a lifelong secretary, devoted 33 years of service to the Milwaukee Public School system, following her roles at the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Police Department. An avid gardener, Mariann's green thumb was legendary, especially with her roses, which graced the world with hundreds of blooms each year. She had great compassion for animals, raising hundreds of birds that she sold to local pet stores and cherished the company of many family dogs, including her beloved "little girl," Poochi. In her later years, Mariann found joy in the camaraderie of playing card games and bingo with friends at the Moose Lodge.


Mariann's life was a testament to the simple pleasures that bring us together. She will be profoundly missed.


Private family services will be held at a later date.
