Mary Ellen Larsen Baugh

July 5, 1916 — November 25, 2006

Mary Ellen Larsen Baugh, 90, was reunited with her eternal companion on Saturday, November 25, 2006. She passed away peacefully at Legacy House where she resided for the past three months.

Mary was born on July 5, 1916 in Logan to Torval and Bessie Larsen, and was the third of eight children. She received her education in Logan City Schools. On September 12, 1935, she married Russell Baugh in the Logan LDS temple, and they lived in River Heights all of their married life. They are the parents of four children.

Mary loved her family and enjoyed being with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and other family members. Before her health deteriorated she rarely missed a birthday or baptism, and enjoyed attending piano recitals, soccer games and other activities in which her family members participated. She loved chocolate and anything sweet, and enjoyed playing games. Family always came first with Mom. She was a dedicated and loving caregiver to her husband for many years before he passed away in 1986. They are together again.

Mom was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served in many callings throughout her lifetime. She loved visiting teaching and found it hard to “retire” from this calling due to her declining health.

Mary is survived by her children, Jay R. (Kathy) Baugh of Smithfield, Duane R. (Linda) Baugh of Fillmore, and Peggy Baugh of River Heights; six grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; one sister, Ethel Quinn of Providence; and many special nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Russell Baugh; infant daughter, Dixie Mae Baugh; and grandson, Thomas Russell Baugh. Also preceding her in death were her parents, two sisters and four brothers.

As a family we wish to express our sincere gratitude to the aides and staff from Alpine Home Care and Hospice and Legacy House for their love, kindness and support in caring for Mom. We also offer special thanks to Dr. Robert Nash and Kim for their care and compassion, and to Donna Reid for being such a special senior companion to Mom.

Funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 28 at the Providence Stake Center, 800 South 600 East in River Heights. A viewing will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. prior to funeral services at the Stake Center. Interment will be in the Providence/River Heights Cemetery.
