Passing of Sally Ann Borate


I am saddened to share the news of the passing of Sally Ann Borate, a former MCC receptionist and an alumna, on Wednesday, July 15, 2009.

Ms. Borate earned an associate degree in criminal justice and worked as a student aide for MCC’s Security Department in 1979. The following year, she was hired for a civil service position as a receptionist in Security. Her career included duties as a receptionist and dispatcher in the Information Desk area for the Public Safety Department. She concluded her MCC career in 1984.

Ms. Borate is survived by her “everything,” Marirose Tamara; siblings, Carolyne (Jo) Johnson, William (Kathleen), Richard (Esther), Bette (Nick) Vandemeer; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved dog, Jack.

A memorial service was held Sunday, July 19, at Anthony Funeral & Cremation Chapels in Brighton, followed by interment at White Haven Memorial Park the next day. Contributions in her memory may be made to the MDA Clinic, Strong Memorial Hospital, Attn: Cathy Hain, 300 E. River Road, Box 278996, Rochester, NY 14627.
