Kathe Borgman

Kathe Marie (McLean) Borgman, 68, passed away peacefully at I.U. University Hospital in Indianapolis on the morning of July 7, 2025. She was born in Indianapolis on April 17, 1957, to Esther (McKinney) McLean and the late Edwin McLean.

Kathe is remembered as a happy person, never without a smile on her face. Her sunny disposition and easy-to-please demeanor gained her many friends. After graduating from Newcastle High School, Kathe earned her bachelor's degree in marketing at Ball State University. Her strong work ethic enabled her to have a long and successful career in the graphics industry. She had a passion for flea markets and thrifting, always looking for that perfect piece of furniture to repurpose or add to her farmhouse collectibles. Kathe also enjoyed traveling, whether to the gulf coast of Florida, Michigan's beautiful beaches, or upstate New York. But by far, her favorite destination was the Oregon coast. And Kathe was a cat lover, already terribly missed by her beloved cat Crook.

Left behind to cherish Kathe's memories are her husband, Mike Borgman; her mother, Esther (McKinney) McLean; stepchildren, Cassie, Haley, and Chris; sisters, Cindy (Dan) Bradfield and Elaine McLean; brother, Stephen (Susan) McLean; nieces, Casey Chambers and Kayla McLean; nephews, Ryan (Jammie) Huddleston and Jake Hillyer; and great nephews, Conner Huddleston and Max Huddleston.

Kathe is preceded in death by her father, Edwin McLean.
