She was born on March 5, 1946, in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Fredrick and Louise (Hamilton) Millward.

She was a Cosmetologist for a number of years.  Sarah loved spending time with family and the grandkids were her priority.  She enjoyed crafts and had an artistic eye.

She married William Edward Borden, Sr. on April 29, 1966, in Warrensburg, Missouri.   He preceded her in death.

Survivors include her son, Andrew (Basha) Borden, stepchildren, Melody (Fred) Hoeppner, Victor (Cathy) Borden, Mone Borden, sister, Judy (Tom) Clisham and grandchildren, Matthew, Tim, Luke, Aaron, and Sabra Hoeppner, Adam Borden, Susannah Hurless, Elizabeth Brennan, and Priscilla Borden, Miles Borden, William and Renner Borden. And five great grandchildren, Fred and Gracelyn Hoeppner, Alivia Hoeppner, Beau and Caleb Brennan

She was preceded in death by her parents, her children, William Borden, Jr. and Brandy Borden, a grandchild Miles Borden, brother Fredrick Millward, sisters, Ellen Boylan and Johanne Loar.

38 years ago on December 20 ^th , 1985, Sarah’s family not including her were in a head on collision with a drunk driver. The only survivor is her son Andrew. She lost her husband Bill, oldest child William and her daughter, Brandy. We find great comfort that when she left this world, she was reunited with those that departed so long ago. Not that she didn’t love us that were still here but how glorious that reunion must have been!

In lieu of flowers, send memorials in Sarah’s name to Lupus Research Alliance and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th Street, Lawrence, KS 66044.
