She was found guilty of both charges following a trial before Lady Dorrian at the High Court in Glasgow.
During his closing speech, prosecutor Kevin McCallum said there was enough evidence to convict Ms Mackenzie.
He said: "Rona Mackenzie's actions when she drove that car at Margaret Borris and knocked her down were entirely deliberate, utterly callous and wickedly reckless.
"It's abundantly clear that her actions that day were intentional."
Defence QC, Mark Stewart, told the jury: "The Crown says we should accept that for no particular reason and in a matter of seconds Rona MacKenzie turned into a murderer.
"I suggest that this was a tragic accident. There is no evidence that she repeatedly drove over the body. The Crown has failed to prove murder."
