Kristin Marie Larson

Sadly, on January 13th, 2022 we lost Kristin Marie Larson after her valiant 2-year journey with ovarian cancer, she was 52 years old. Kristin was born in Walnut Creek, CA on 9/26/1969 to the late Nancy Ruth (Wills) Larson and Edward Marshall Larson and spent her entire childhood in the same home in San Ramon, CA. She went to Neil A Armstrong Elementary, Pine Valley Intermediate and California High School. She was active in Girl Scouts, swimming and volunteering. Kristin then went onto Humboldt State University to study history and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in 1992. She loved her time in the redwoods. After graduating, she returned to the Bay Area and worked for Pacific Bell and Pottery Barn, before moving to Colorado Springs in 2003. Shortly after moving to the Springs, Kristin started her 20-year career with Progressive Insurance. Kristin enjoyed history, museums and genealogy; she was the family historian. Kristin wed her partner Angela Hackett-Larson in 2016. Kristin and Angie loved to travel, and enjoy live music and sports with their friends. Since her diagnosis, Kristin and Angie traveled far and wide to visit friends and family, attended concerts and cheered on their favorite teams.

Kristin is proceeded in death by her mother, Nancy Ruth (Wills) Larson (1944-1990) also to cancer and father-in-law Chris Alan Hackett (1955-2020). She is survived by; her loving wife, Angela Lynn Hackett-Larson of Fountain, CO whom she has been honored to call her partner for the last 10 years and their fur babies Rigatony and Betsy; her father Edward Marshall Larson and step-mother Barbara Larson of Truckee, CA; her sister Karen Elizabeth Larson and brother-in-law Mark Andrew Johnson of Wauconda, IL; mother-in-law Anne Marie Hackett of Sioux City, IA, brother-in-law Chad Aeron Hackett of Fountain, CO and sisters-in-law Heather Renee and Whitney Danielle Hackett of Sioux City, IA; step-brother Scott Hulbert and his children Zachary, Jonathan and Faith of DeSoto, TX; step-sister Carol Lynn of Kailua Kona, HI. Kristin often said the best job ever was being auntie to Lance Edward Evans of Wauconda, IL and Jade Amina and Jayla Anisse Dixon of Sioux City, IA. Kristin had a loving extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. She was also lucky to have many friends that were considered family.
