Kimberly Ann Larsen, age 40, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 28th, 2018 at her home with loved ones at her side after battling breast cancer with amazing courage, grace and dignity. She was born June 1st, 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia to Lawrence and Carol Langteau (nee Cosgrove). As a child she lived a short time in Smyrna, Georgia and Wilmington, North Carolina, and then her family eventually settled in Franklin, Tennessee where Kim grew up in an idyllic neighborhood. She was a graduate of Father Ryan High School in Nashville, Tennessee. After attending the University of Tennessee for her freshman year of college, Kim decided to make a big change and move to Breckenridge, Colorado to experience mountain living, snowboarding and other exciting adventures with good friends from Tennessee. She then moved to Denver and earned her bachelor’s degree in Social Work at Metro State University, and eventually earned her Master’s in Social Work from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. She married David Jan Larsen on November 6th, 2010 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Kim had a passion for helping those that are less fortunate, and worked at multiple organizations that assist the homeless such as the Samaritan House in Denver, The Catholic Charities Mission in Fort Collins and most recently at The Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope in Fort Collins. She was a strong advocate for those less fortunate, and always had a smile for everyone she met. She put the needs of others ahead of her own, and was always there to listen to and support family, friends, co-workers and clients. She had a huge heart, and had a genuine love of people and made a major impact on the many lives she touched. Kim was an avid traveler, and enjoyed new experiences and visiting new places. She was the trip planner in the family, and always spent time researching and organizing exciting excursions. She has traveled to many countries around the world, and had a knack for making sure people were enjoying themselves on our trips. She was so truly selfless in all that she did.
