Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home& Crematory -
Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

On Friday July 8, Edna Mae Borders, or “Red,” passed away peacefully in
her home at the age of 79. She grew up on a farm in Peoria, AZ and was
the youngest daughter of Frank and Bertie Myers. She attended Peoria
High School and graduated as part of the class of 1960.

Edna was a bold, fearless and forthright woman in an era when that was
uncommon. Much of her life was spent taking care of her children as a
homemaker, but she also experienced divorce and being a single mother
working for Motorola. She moved with her ex-husband Duane Borders from
the Phoenix metro area to Lake Havasu in 1980 to raise their children
Kelli and John. After her children left the house, she worked at
Southside Laundromat in Havasu for nearly a decade before retiring due
to health issues.

Edna loved gossiping with her grandchildren more than anything in the
world. Her favorite topics of conversation were the weather and what the
neighbors were up to. When not talking to her son or her grandchildren
on the phone, she could be found watching game shows or sports. Even
though her only grandson is a sun devil, she was a die-hard Wildcats
fan.

Edna is preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, and her daughter
Kelli Wisniewski. She is survived by her son John Borders, her
grandchildren Russell Wisniewski and Rachell Cheuvront, and her four
great grandchildren Eleanor and Ezekiel Cheuvront, and Eliana and Ashira
Wisniewski.
