Christine Borchers

MADISON/OSHKOSH – Christine Ziegler Borchers, age 69, passed away after a fight with cancer at Agrace Hospice on Wednesday, August 12, 2020. Chris was born on June 10, 1951 in Madison, WI to Calvin and Jeanne (Krohn) Ziegler. She graduated from East High and was a lifelong resident of Madison’s North and Eastside. Chris married Randy Borchers on April 10, 1983 in Las Vegas. Chris truly enjoyed all of the friends she made at the DILHR and DWD. After 37 years working for the State, she retired so she could do more of what she loved most, spend time on the boat enjoying the sun and water. She was a great cook, voracious reader and loved animals, especially her grand dog Maverick. Chris was an amazing lady, known for her witty personality, mean gimlet making skills and will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of sharing time with her.

Chris is survived by her husband of 37 years, Randy; son, Bradley (Vanessa LaCoste); sister, Karen (Larry) Taff and their children, Jacob and Jesse; and will forever be a "Twisted Sister" to Karen and Traci Mann.

The family will be holding a private service. Due to the piss poor COVID situation we will be hosting a get together at a later date to share stories and memories.

The family would like to thank the staff at Agrace. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Agrace Hospice or the Dane County Humane Society.
