Mercedes joys consisted of cooking for her family and friends, attending each family gathering and always eager and ready to bring a dish to each function. Her other passion was dining out with family and friends. Her love was shown in everything she did. Her greatest devotion was to God and the Virgin Mary. Mercedes prayed the Holy Rosary every day and always made sure to bless everyone she met. Her family finds comfort and peace knowing that she is with Apa, parents, family and most of all with God.
Mercedes is survived by her loving family, her sons and daughters, Victor Borrego (Tillie) of Lamesa, TX., Mary Ramirez (Margarito), Joe Olimpo Borrego (Sally), Ezequiel Borrego, Jr.(Marisol), Tonia Borrego (Lorenzo), Dimas Borrego, and Joe G. Borrego (Angela), all of Midland, TX.; Mercedes has 12 grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren; numerous relatives and friends. The Borrego family is eternally grateful with a most special “Thank you” to Misty, mom’s nurse.
