Deborah Marie Baron

Deborah Marie Morton Baron passed away peacefully May 11, 2025, at her home in Wind Crest Senior Community, Highlands Ranch, Colorado. She was born on September 14, 1941, in York, Pennsylvania to Marie and Charles Morton.

In the 1950’s her family relocated to Massachusetts, where Deborah-known to many as Debbie-graduated from Chelmsford High School in 1959. She pursued a career in nursing, and on August 4, 1962, married Bruce Baron in Chelmsford. A year later, Bruce was commissioned into the U.S. Air Force, and together they embraced the life of a military family, living in Ohio, California, Massachusetts, and Virginia. During this time, they welcomed three children: Ed, Susan, and Jim.

Debbie worked as a registered nurse for several years, primarily in labor and delivery. Later, she transitioned into the technology field and held positions at Atlantic Research, Hewlett-Packard, Octel Communications, and Lucent Technologies while in Silicon Valley. In 1998, she and Bruce retired to Grants Pass, Oregon, and later moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Following Bruce’s passing in April 2020, Debbie relocated to Colorado to be closer to family.

A woman of refined taste and creativity, Debbie had a deep appreciation for antiques-especially dolls, furniture, dishware, and lace-and her homes reflected her love for classic décor. In retirement, she ran a small antique booth in Oregon. She was also a talented gardener and enjoyed various crafts.

Deborah is survived by her children: Ed (Sally), Susan (Doug), Jim (Tina); nine grandchildren: Ron (Samantha), Dan (Rachel), Amy (Alex), Eric (Lindsay), Alyce, Mattie, Heide (Wesley), Niko and Evan; and great-grandson Franklin.
