She completed a degree in Protestant theology in Marburg . There she met Karl-Heinz Bormuth, whom she married in 1957.
She worked on a voluntary basis in the Marburg telephone pastoral care, in conflict counseling and in the poor and homeless care, for which she and her husband were awarded the historic city seal of the city of Marburg in 2015. Bormuth is also involved as a speaker at senior days and breakfast meetings for women.
She also translated many books from English into German. In processing great suffering in close family circles, articles and stories were first written for various magazines.
