Theresa Marie Borski

Theresa was born in Bremond, Texas, to Albert and Victoria Klotz. One of 14 children, she grew up knowing the meaning of family. In the Klotz household, there was always someone to love, someone to help, and someone to share a meal with. Her Catholic faith was woven into the fabric of her life from the very beginning and remained her greatest source of strength and guidance throughout her 89 years.

In the early 1950s, Theresa and her family moved to Houston, where she attended Incarnate Word Academy. After graduation, her first job was as a waitress at Windswept Inn in Houston. It was also during these years that Theresa’s life took a wonderful turn. Her best friend, Betty Beier, introduced her to Edward L. Borski at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Anderson, Texas. Theresa and Ed were married on June 22, 1957, beginning a marriage and a family that would become the center of Theresa’s world.

In May of 1958, Theresa and Ed welcomed their first child. Over the years, they became the proud parents of five children: Kenneth, David, Ronald, Debra, and Brian. Theresa spent most of her children’s younger years as a stay-at-home mother, pouring her heart into raising her family and making their house a home.

She was the kind of mother who made sure everyone was taken care of—and well fed. Theresa loved having people around her, and she had a special way of making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. If you came to her home, you could expect to be offered something to eat. If you said you weren’t hungry, she probably didn’t believe you. And if you were family, you were going to be fed anyway.

For several years, Theresa had a side business with a friend and later worked for Highlands Insurance Company until she and Ed retired. In 1986, they moved to Roans Prairie, Texas, where they spent many happy years together. Theresa was a longtime member of the Assumption Altar Society and the St. Stanislaus Altar Society, giving her time and love to her faith that had been such an important part of her life.

After Ed’s death in 2002, Theresa continued to live in Roans Prairie until 2016, when she moved to Cypress to be closer to her family. For the last nine-plus years of her life, she was a member of Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church.

Above everything else, Theresa was a woman of faith, and she showed that faith through the way she loved people. Her greatest hope was that every one of her children, grandchildren, and loved ones would make it to Heaven. She prayed for them, worried about them, encouraged them, advised them, and sometimes offered a little feedback whether they asked for it or not. She loved fiercely and wholeheartedly, making everyone feel that they belonged. Whether through a meal, a phone call, a prayer, or telling you exactly what she thought you ought to do, Theresa never let you wonder whether she cared. She wanted the very best for the people she loved, both in this life and the next.

Her family will remember her deep faith, her strong spirit, her generous heart, her love of family, and her determination to keep everyone connected. They will remember her stories, her advice, her meals, her competitiveness at Chicken Foot, her laughter, and the feeling of being loved that came simply from being in her presence.

Most of all, they will remember how deeply Theresa wanted the people she loved to join her in Heaven. She leaves behind a family that is richer because she was their mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Although they will miss her deeply, they find comfort in believing that the hope she carried throughout her life has now been fulfilled—that she is at peace and has finally arrived at the Heaven she prayed so faithfully that her family would one day share with her.

Theresa is survived by her five children: Kenneth Borski (Cheryl), David Borski (Linda), Ronald Borski (Angela), Debra Epperson (Alan), and Brian Borski (Wendy).

She is also survived by her beloved brother, Richard Klotz (Betty); her grandchildren, whom she loved dearly: Joel Borski (Brittany), Sarah Rowe (Josh), Christopher Borski (Allison), Christi Williams (Blake), Stephanie del Bosque (Ernesto), Nicholas Borski (Susan), Justin Epperson, Kasey Borski, Natalie Epperson, and Lauren Epperson; step-grandchildren Nik Watson and Haley Watson; 17 great-grandchildren; her niece Dolores Jankowski (John) and numerous other nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Edward L. Borski; her parents, Albert and Victoria Klotz; and her siblings Annie Lee Krusleski, Willie Klotz, Helen Higgason, Edward Klotz, Floyd Klotz, Harry Klotz, Raymond Klotz, Eugene Klotz, Robert Klotz, Elzie Klotz, Frances Klotz, and Joe Bill Klotz.

Visitation will be from 4-8 PM with a vigil service and recitation of the Holy Rosary starting at 7:00 p.m. on September 7, 2026, at Brookside Funeral Home-Cypress Creek.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. on September 8, 2026, at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church. The Rite of Committal will follow at St. Stanislaus Cemetery in Anderson, Texas. A reception will follow in the Church hall.

Pallbearers will be grandsons Joel Borski, Christopher Borski, Nicholas Borski, and Justin Epperson, son-in-law Alan Epperson, and godson James Beier.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites those who wish to honor Theresa to say a prayer, perform an act of kindness, or gather around a table with the people they love. After all, there were few things Theresa loved more than faith, family, and making sure everyone had something good to eat.
