Nettie Simmons Linton

Nettie Carol Simmons Linton passed away February 1, 2025, after a short illness. Her many whispers of “I love you” during her last days will linger forever.

Her love of the gospel of Jesus Christ was her north star.

And she made it all look easy. 

Nettie wasn’t just a hearer of the word; she was a doer. Her zest and gratitude for life was deep and perhaps that’s the well from which she drew endless energy and empathy. We’re sure she learned to give by following the example of her dear mother Edith and namesake, Aunt Nettie.

Her apple bars, brownies, sourdough waffles, green salads, roasted vegetable lasagna, grilled salmon, granola, and Christmas morning eggs benedict, were legendary. She loved spoiling her family, especially her grandkids with delicious meals. When friends came for dinner she’d say, “Tonight we’re having Nettie’s Surprise!” She would dance around the kitchen with her children on Saturday mornings, singing “Good Morning Sunshine” while making her famous pancake breakfasts. Her joy for life was infectious.

She will forever hold the record for the longest time to complete the St. George Marathon, which can’t be broken, as they no longer allow anyone to take more than seven hours.

To honor Nettie, we invite you to give an outrageous tip to someone in need. This will be sure to make her smile.

Funeral services will be held at the chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 4917 Viewmont Street, Holladay, Utah at 11am on February 8, 2025. Friends and family are welcome to greet the family from 9:00am to 10:45am at this same location.
