Nettie Moore was a star of Denver’s West Colfax neighborhood, voicing her opinion on development and advocating for grass root causes over many decades.
Moore, who lived in Denver almost all her life, died last week at age 96.
She is survived by her family two children, eight grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren – though her entire community will remember her legacy as an activist.
As an old article on the North Denver News website describes her work as wide-ranging. She fought for lighting and curbs in neighborhoods, got new playground equipment for a local park and worked on community associations. Moore worked in school lunchrooms, fought for bond issues and took it upon herself to write letters to politicians for causes she believed in.
