Our beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister, and grandma Linda Jeanne Harper returned to her Father in Heaven on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

She was born May 31, 1959, to Howard and Patricia Peterson in Tucson, Arizona. She graduated from High School in Anaheim, California, where she was Senior Class President, played softball, and was a cheerleader.

She attended Brigham Young University where Linda met her soulmate and best friend, Lee Craig Harper. The two were sealed for all time and eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on January 17, 1981. Her greatest joy and accomplishment in life were her three beautiful children.

She had a great love for her family, her dogs, and was devoted to her grandchildren. She enjoyed drawing, painting, getting lost in novels, crocheting, and watching her grandchildren play sports. Linda had the gift of making fast friends, and brought the light to any space she was in.

Linda is survived by her husband Lee Harper, her children Kristin Walters (Nicholas), Kylie Lyman (Alexander), Kevin Harper, and her 7 grandchildren; Harper, Benny, and Henry Walters, and Zoey, Leo, Beau, and baby boy Lyman on the way.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Kenneth Peterson of Bakersfield, California, and her brother Jim Peterson of Bakersfield, California.

Today, as we bid farewell to a remarkable woman who touched our lives in countless ways, let us carry forward her legacy of love, kindness, and service. Linda may have departed from this earthly realm, but her spirit will forever dwell in our hearts, guiding us with her gentle wisdom and enduring grace. Rest in peace, dear mother, knowing that your love will live on in us always…

A viewing will be held on May 1, 2024, from 6pm to 8pm at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home (646 East 800 North, Orem, Utah). Interment will be at Calls Fort Cemetery in Honeyville, Utah.
