Lily Borg Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Lily Borg age 90, of Jupiter/ Tequesta and most recently, Jensen Beach, Florida passed on to eternal life on Tuesday June 14th, 2022, just one week before her 91st birthday. Carolina “Lily” Rebecca Muscat was born in Tarxien, Malta on June 21st, 1931. As a young teenager she served in the St. John's Ambulance Brigade during World War II, where she met her husband Verdiano “Steve” Borg. Lily was just 15 years old when they met; they were married when she was 21 years old and immigrated to London Ontario, Canada shortly after that. Lily had dreams of teaching school when she was young but, instead, she chose to devote her life to her husband, children and extended family. She was a role model homemaker and mother, a devoted wife who supported her husband through his successful business ventures. She welcomed family and friends into her home and was loved and respected as “Aunt Lil” by her nieces and nephews, three of whom lived with her when coming abroad to Canada from Australia and Freeport, Grand Bahama. She served as host family for a Mexican Exchange student for a year and kept in touch with her for many years later. Lily, lovingly, cared for each of them as she did her own three daughters. In 1972, as had been promised by her loving husband, Lily and her family moved to Juno Beach, Florida to return to a tropical climate. There she thrived in the outdoors, boating with her husband who loved fishing, and immersing herself into gardening. Lily had an amazing green thumb, anything she planted thrived and blossomed; her beautiful rose gardens were a reflection of her inner beauty, and she gifted family and friends with her magnificent roses. When her grandchildren were born she devoted herself to them, blessing them with her rich stories and lessons, and touching their lives in ways that have stayed with them all these years. Lily is survived by her three daughters: Margaret Borg, Shirley Borg (son in law Don Troise) and Maureen Borg Agnello; grandson Steven Agnello, granddaughter Gina Agnello, and father of her grandchildren Gary Agnello, as well as, extended family in Canada, Malta and Australia. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Jude Catholic Church, 204 N. U.S. Hwy. 1 Tequesta FL on Wednesday June 22nd at 1:00pm. Burial will follow the mass at Riverside Memorial Park, 4534 County Line Road, Tequesta FL.
