Margaret Ann Borske, the daughter of Eber C. and Grace E. (Dinger) Frye, was born on January 24, 1931 in Decorah, Iowa. She was baptized and confirmed at First Lutheran Church, and graduated with the Class of 1949 from Decorah High School. Maggie was very proud to be a life-long resident of Decorah. Growing up she had a great love of horses, even riding for a summer with The White Horse Ranch performers in South Dakota. While working as a secretary for the Decorah Gas Company, she met the love of her life, Andrew Borske. They were united in marriage on March 21, 1951, at First Lutheran Church in Decorah, Iowa.

After her children were grown, she used her decorating skills to help many people at the Sherwin Williams store in Decorah. She also worked for a time with the Northeast Iowa Area Agency for Aging. Maggie enjoyed life. She was known and admired by many for her athletic ability, even doing aerobics classes into her late seventies. Maggie absolutely loved snow and was an avid downhill and cross-country skier. When it would snow in late March, she was delighted even though others were wishing for spring. She also loved to play mixed volleyball and to dance. Maggie was very artistic. She created beautiful oil paintings, knit Norwegian sweaters, embroidered, restored antique furniture, and was an accomplished decorator. Maggie was also a social person. Playing five hundred, and belonging to many bridge clubs gave her great joy. First Lutheran Church was an important part of her life.
