Carol Sue Borkowski, passed into heaven Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026. She was greatly loved by her husband, children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends.

The daughter of Leo and Marie Negoski, Carol was born on December 30, 1947, in Chicago, and grew up in Joliet, IL. She was a Registered Nurse for many years, loved caring for people, especially babies and new mothers. She patiently and lovingly raised six children, teaching them the essentials of life: how to cook, clean, to be respectful and faithful. Carol loved to sing and play piano, was a cantor and choir member at Saint John the Baptist in Winfield, IL and later at Saint Peters in Geneva, IL. She and her husband Nolan, as First Mate and Captain, loved spending time together on their houseboat the Too Spoons, which they planned to retire on, as well as taking cruises on the open sea. Carol was always cheerful, loved to laugh and play cards, and always had a smile for everyone. She was a loving wife, mom, grandma, and friend to many and will be greatly missed, but forever remembered.

She leaves behind her dear husband Nolan, sister Val, brothers John and Jim, sons Aaron, Andy (Peggy), Adrian (Andrea), Alex (Michelle), and Adam (Elsa), daughter Aimee, twelve grandchildren – Rachel, Ellen, Josh, Dominic, Sarah, Diego, Arianna, Azariah, Esmè, Una, Àine, Amelia, and many nieces and nephews.
