Mrs. Vivian Anne Borton's Obituary
Vivian Anne Borton, 82, of Frederick, Maryland, passed away peacefully May 14, 2024.
She took her final breathes surrounded by loved ones in her own home as was her
wish. Vivian brought immeasurable joy and light into our lives with her kind heart,
radiant smile, and boundless curiosity.
Vivian is survived by brother Craig Wensley and wife Linda, Step-son John Borton and
wife Louise and step-daughters: Julianne Borton and Jennifer Awtrey as well as a step-granddaughter Claire Awtrey. Nephew Steven West. Long time (adopted family) caregiver Brandy Dilley and husband Cole. Long time card making friend Valerie Hill.
Vivian was preceded in death by her husband Donald Borton, her father Victor Wensley
and mother Martha Nolte.
Vivian served as a stewardess on United Airlines and was heavily involved in Civil Air
Patrol search and rescue. She later dedicated her time to being a loving housewife.
In her free time, Vivian enjoyed folk dancing, Scottish dancing especially, and intricate
multi layered card making for craft fairs with her friend Valerie. She enjoyed shows
about ships, science fiction and old horror movies. A trip to the craft store was always a
way to cheer her up. She was also affiliated with the Saint Andrews Society.

Mountain Highway, Frederick, Md 21701 on Saturday June 1, 2024. Viewing begins at
