LaVon Simon Linnell, our loving wife, mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully at home on December 8, 2020 with her family surrounding her. She was born February 18, 1934 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the sweetest mom and wife anybody could ever have. LaVon’s greatest blessing and happiness was her family.
