Kaylee Rae Borchert, 23, of Owatonna, died Saturday, June 23, 2012 at United Hospital in St. Paul.

On June 25, 1988 Kaylee Rae Borchert joined her parents Joni and Jeff and her big brother Matthew. Two years later they were joined by her little brother Erik. A tiny beautiful girl with big brown eyes, she was a special gift from the beginning. Though her body was fragile, her courageous spirit had an unconquerable strength. The painful trails Kaylee endured would have made an average person angry or bitter, but Kaylee always continued to love her life. Her radiant spirit embraced everyone in her world. Although she couldn't communicate in words, the love and joy in her heart sparkled in her eyes and bubbled out in her smiles and laughter. To know her was to truly love her. Though it is hard to let our Angel go to heaven, it makes us smile to know that she is celebrating with other family who has gone before her.

She is survived by her parents Jeff and Joni Borchert of Owatonna, brothers, Matthew of Crystal, and Erik of Owatonna. She is also survived by her maternal grandmother Bev Harpel of Ellendale, paternal grandmother Bev Borchert of Owatonna, and aunts, uncles, and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather Eber Harpel, paternal grandfather Adolph Borchert, and a very special caregiver Esther Morrison.

Visitation will be at Michaelson Funeral Home on Wednesday June 27, 2012 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Funeral services will be held Wednesday June 27, 2012 at 1 p.m. at Michaelson Funeral Home with The Reverend Julie Malone officiating.
