Linda Laker Pearson

Linda was a friend, neighbor and church community member. I have such sweet, poignant, fond memories of Linda over the 12 years I´ve known her. I loved my sunset salutation strolls in the neighborhood, passing by the Pearson´s historic home, in admiration of their beauteous garden immaculately manicured lawn, and if I was lucky, Linda was out there working in it, with her radiant smile and sweet demeanor. Linda was one of the first members of our church community to welcome me as a single...

Dear George, We were sorry to hear of your loss--We have not been very close over the years, but our love for you and Linda has crossed the years from before the creation of the Crazy Dutchmen Painters (you were the Mother Hen, adopted as a Dutchman, as I recall!). Those memories span the decades and will be remembered through the ages, even if it must happen on the other side of the veil! We think of you often and our prayers are with you, particularly at this time for you. ...

George, Emily and Matthew. We were so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I remember how artistic she was and still have the barn wood with our name on it, that she made for us when we were married. It was fun to have married a farmer and had access to old milk cans and odd stuff she turned into pieces of art. George, you are loved and blessed with the gospel, it will help you feel Linda close to you. All our prayers and love, Elder William and Sister Lynne Ballif, Missouri St. Louis Mission.

We so loved Linda. She was always smiling and loving to anyone she met. She made us all feel like lifelong friends. I am sure there was a great reunion in heaven!

We never knew Linda but we are so honored to have known part of your family and her goodness radiates from them. So much love to you all. Praying for your continued peace and comfort.

Bishop Pearson and family, our deepest condolences on Linda's passing. I always felt so loved in her presence. She will be missed on earth, but heaven has gained an angel! Love from JaNae and Clayton Hughes and family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. ZORAN JOSIP MAUNAGA

Please feel of our love and prayers at this tender time. Dave and I hold fond memories of friendship formed with George, Linda, and Emily when we were part of the Salt Lake 33rd Ward. Thank you for being the kind of people that know how to bring sunshine to the soul.
