Josiane "Josie" Leonide Borglund, 90, of Wright, became one of God's angels on Monday, October 15, 2018, in St. Mary's Hospital.
Josie was born to Oscar and Louise Lecomte and was raised on a cargo boat traveling and delivering cargo on the seven rivers in Paris, France. She worked for the Germans when they occupied France. She then worked at the Officer's Chateau at the American Embassy, where she met her ex-husband and father of her children, Curtis Borglund. They were married for 52 years and raised a family in Wright, MN. Josie retired from Stearn's Mfg. in Carlton, MN.
Above all, Josie loved being with her family. She was the heart and glue of her family and was loved and adored by them all. She said she was put on this earth to serve others. She was a prayer warrior and very strong in her faith, which she witnessed through how she lived her life.
Josie was preceded in death by an infant son, Walter Danny; daughter, Joana; sister, Helena; nephew, Daniel; and son-in-laws, Ron and Craig.
Josie is survived by her children, Curtis Jr. of Mora, Diana Simonson of Hermantown, Thomas (MaryJo) of Cromwell, and Karen Carlson of Moose Lake; 17 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great-grandchildren; and a niece and nephew in France, Marina and Roger.
