Barbara G. Hilborn, 89, of County Route 100, Addison, NY, entered the Kingdom of her Lord from home on Thursday, December 3, 2020 in the loving presence of her family.
Barb was born in Elmira Heights, NY on September 5, 1931. She was the daughter of the late Gertrude and Andrew Colegrove. Growing up in Elmira Heights, she was a graduate of Thomas A. Edison High School there. Following high school she attended the London Bible Institute in London, Ontario.
On August 20, 1960, she and Lewis Hugh Hilborn were married at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Elmira. Lewis predeceased her 1001 days ago on March 8, 2018.
Lewis and Barb operated a farm together for many years in Woodhull. Lewis developed a sight disability and they gave up their farming operation. They moved to Florida for several years where they found work in the lawn care business. They eventually returned to Borden where they had made their home ever since. She and Lewis were very active members of the Tuscarora Baptist Church and had been members of the former Borden Grange. Barb was a longtime Avon representative and had also been housekeeper for various area families. Her most rewarding role was that of mother and grandmother. She cherished time spent with her family.
Surviving are her children, Andrew Hilborn of Maine, Addie Herrington of Addison and Amy Gabel of Addison, her grandchildren, Stephanie Potter, Anthony Herrington, Mandi Risley, Erik Bruce and Matthew Drake, his great grandchildren, Hailey Potter, Trinity Herrington, Alexis Potter, Madison Potter, Lily Risley, Harper Risley and Kaydence Herrington, her sisters, Patty Edwards and Esther Mayes, several nieces and nephews and special friends, Audrey and Joe Ogrodowski.
Besides her husband Lewis, Barb was preceded in death by her parents, her granddaughter, Emma Hilborn and her sisters, Phyllis Carpenter, Janet Jacobsen and Beverly Smith.
A private graveside will be held at Elk Creek Cemetery in Borden at the convenience of the family.
