A local businesswoman and candidate for Islamorada Village Council, Brycelynne “Angel” Borden, passed away on July 29 in Tavernier. She was 62.
Born on a Navy base in Memphis, Borden called Islamorada home for the past 12 years. She also had an affinity for the Cayman Islands, where she moved more than three decades ago and raised her four daughters with their father, John Borden II.
Borden was attuned to village issues, frequently attending meetings and throwing her name into the hat for a council seat during the 2022 election. She was seeking another bid for a spot on the dais in the 2024 election for seat 3. She filed for candidacy on April 26.
“Angel was a jack of all trades and would go out of her way to help those around her,” reads her obituary posted by Allen-Beyer Funeral Home.
The cause of death wasn’t immediately known. The family will be holding a candlelight vigil in the Florida Keys, which will be followed by a funeral service and burial in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Further details will be provided at a later date.
