May Borjon Obituary
May 9, 1937 – September 24, 2025
Our beloved mother and Nana left us to join our father and Tata, her favorite dance partner who has been waiting for her almost 19 years.
May graduated from Garfield High School in 1955. After working at Sears, Roebuck and Company several years, in 1959, she joyfully married our father, Robert Borjon and between 1960 and 1965 gave birth to her children.
She was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Robert, "favorite son-in-law," Eric Kartinen; great-grandson, Ash Robert Lopez; her Mama and Papa; her seven siblings; and many friends and relatives.
May is survived by her children, Kim Borjon Kartinen, Laura Marie Borjon (Michael), Charles Robert Borjon (Jennifer), and Cynthia Christine Borjon-Cosby; her grandchildren, Gregory Ardoin (Amanda), William Ardoin (Samantha), Victoria Reed (Ben), Tiffany Cosby (Steven), Dani Benavides (Christopher), Jillian Cosby, Jacob Kartinen, Chloe Cosby, and Eve Borjon; her great-grandchildren, Jayde, Rosa, Bradley, Joshua, Sophia, Timothy, Anamari, Matthew, Jayden, Peter, Sarai, Ezra, Ruth, and Emily; and numerous relatives and friends.
