She was the president of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church Altar Society and served for two decades as well on the board of the Laredo Public Library. In 1956, the couple played George and Martha Washington in Laredo's nationally-known Washington's Birthday Celebration. The senior Borchers were named in 1976 to the Lord and Lady of the Holy Sepulcher, the highest honor bestowed on lay Catholics.
