She married John Rolan Bordelon on January 25, 1958 and was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who was always ready to lend a helping hand.
Mrs. Bordelon was a long-time member of Macedonia Baptist Church in Effie where she faithfully played the piano for many years. She served as Vacation Bible School leader many times.
