Augustine Borisuk was born on August 21st,1934 in St. Louis Missouri to Joseph and Josephine Borisuk. From an early age Augie was asked to join the work force and help the family, she worked many of years in the kitchen at Firmin Desloge Hospital and then assembling ceiling fans at the Cass Fan company so that the family could put food on the table.
At the age of 19 she met Verlin Sumpter while working at Firmin Desloge Hospital and little did she know her destiny as a wife and mother would be set into motion.
Verlin and Augustine were married for 49 years until his death in 2002. As a young mother Augie had to overcome the death of her first-born son David Allen, but her strong motherly instinct would not let this tragedy affect her family. Augie and Verlin went on to raise two girls and two boys in Ferguson, Mo. The family later moved to Bowling Green Kentucky, Elizabethtown Kentucky, Waterloo Illinois and Summerville South Carolina which was a testament to Augie’s adaptability. Even at the age of 70 she was able to get a job in the kitchen at the Oak Hill nursing home in Waterloo, IL to stay active.
Augie enjoyed sewing, painting, bingo, bowling, casinos, coloring and most of all family and friends. Her love for Elvis Presley was with her to the end and always enjoyed attending Steve Davis shows in and around Waterloo, IL.
