Remembering Barbara Larssen Nelson Baggs (1937 – 2026)
The Aurora community says goodbye to a beloved neighbor, friend, and lifelong resident. Barbara Larssen Nelson Baggs, who called Aurora home for more than six decades, passed away earlier this month at the age of 89. Her life story, featured in the Denver Gazette, highlights a legacy of family devotion, community service, and the warm, down‑to‑earth spirit that many of us associate with our city’s heart.
Born in 1937, Barbara grew up during the post‑war boom and witnessed Aurora’s transformation from a quiet suburb to the vibrant, multicultural hub it is today. She was a devoted mother, a cherished grandmother, and an active volunteer with local charities, including the Aurora Senior Center and the historic Aurora Historical Society. Friends remember her for her legendary apple pies, her Sunday‑morning walks along the Aurora Reservoir, and her habit of greeting every passer‑by with a friendly “Good morning, neighbor!”
A celebration of Barbara’s life will be held at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on Saturday, November 7, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., followed by a reception at the Aurora Community Center. The family invites anyone whose life Barbara touched to share memories, photos, or a favorite story.
