Noreen's obituary
Noreen Ann Borg (Spisz), 65, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2026. She was born on April 7, 1960, in Detroit, Michigan, and was raised in Brighton, Michigan before eventually making Texas her home. Noreen was a woman of deep and abiding faith. Raised in the Catholic Church, she leaned on her faith most in life’s hardest moments, finding strength, comfort, and hope through her relationship with God. She dedicated over 20 years of her career to Intermarine, where she not only excelled in her work but built lasting friendships with her beloved work family. Noreen had a vibrant spirit and loved spending time with friends and family, always ready to go out, laugh, and enjoy life to the fullest. Her laugh was truly contagious and brought joy to everyone around her.
Above all, Noreen was a devoted and loving mother. She was her daughters’ biggest supporter, always encouraging Amanda and Sarah in everything they pursued. While she was just eight days away from meeting her granddaughter, Ellie, her love for her was already so deep. Ellie will carry forward her strength and spirit in the years to come. Noreen also expressed her love through the little things that became unforgettable traditions—especially her homemade Christmas butter cookies and her comforting chicken and dumplings, which brought warmth and joy to all who gathered around her table. She also took great joy in sharing and celebrating her Polish roots with those around her. In 2019, Noreen was diagnosed with stage 4 peritoneal cancer. She faced her diagnosis with unwavering determination, courageously pursuing every treatment available. Even as her health declined following immunotherapy in 2025, her strength never wavered. She continued to fight, to hope, and to show resilience in ways that inspired everyone around her. She is survived by her loving daughters, Amanda Borg and Sarah Borg; her granddaughter, Ellie; her brothers, Michael Spisz and his wife June, Henry Spisz, Gary Spisz, and Tom Spisz and his wife Tonya; and many extended family members and dear friends. She is reunited in heaven with her parents, Gertrude Spisz and Henry Spisz; her sibling Sue Jenson and her husband Jan Jenson; and her sisters-in-law Stevie Spisz and Vicki Spisz. Noreen will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her fierce strength, her joyful spirit, and the deep love she had for her family and friends. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the love she gave, and the faith she carried so beautifully.
