Her compositions include over 60 commissioned works, including pieces for the stage; for her primary instrument—the organ; choral, vocal, and orchestral music; and several critical editions of works by previous composers such as Jubilate by J.-J.
The family moved to Chicago in 1941.
Borroff studied at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the American Conservatory of Music, graduating with a Bachelor of Music in 1946, a Master of Music in composition in 1948.
Her education included studying organ with Claire Coci at Oberlin College and voice with Frances Grund.
She joined the faculty at Milwaukee-Downer College from 1950–54 while continuing her studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, graduating with a Ph.D. in historical musicology by 1958.
Her dissertation was titled The instrumental works of Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville.
She taught at Hillsdale College (where she also was associate dean) 1958-1962, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 1962-1966, Eastern Michigan University 1966-1972, and State University of New York at Binghamton, 1973 to 1992.
Cassanéa de Mondonville (Pittsburgh, 1961).
She also wrote at least 7 books, including the textbook Music in Europe and the United States: a History (Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1971/R), as well as various peer-reviewed articles and publications.
Borroff was born in New York City, the daughter of professional musicians Marie Bergerson and (Albert) Ramon Borroff, and sister of poet Marie Borroff.

Borroff retired from teaching in 1992.
Her papers are housed at the Newberry Library.
In an 2011 interview with the American Composers Alliance, Borroff shared that she had always considered herself a composer.

After completing her studies, Borroff worked as a composer and music professor.
She died in Durham, North Carolina on March 10, 2019.
