Marina was born in Milford, MA to the late Louis and Marie (Greene) Borghi.  She attended Sacred Heart Grammar School and St. Mary’s Central Catholic High School.  She will be remembered as always being joyous, kind, and welcoming; she had a way about her that made you feel at ease. She took great joy in spending time with family at various celebrations and cookouts for special events, birthdays, or just to hang out. She was never happier than when she was spending time with her beloved grandchildren. 

Due to health concerns and restrictions on gatherings, there will be no funeral services at this time. A memorial mass and a celebration of her life will be held at a time to be announced. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Lung Association.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Shaw-Majercik Funeral Home, 48 School Street Webster, MA.
