Linda L. Jackson

1940 - 2023

SPRINGVILLE / FREMONT - Linda Lou Gold Jackson, beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend passed away peacefully at her home in Springville from health complications on March 24, 2023. Linda was 83 years old.

She was born in Ancon, Canal Zone, Panama, March 19, 1940, to Everett Van and Thelma Lucille Gruber Gold. She was the oldest of six children and very close to her sisters Carol, Brenda, Marsha, Tami and her brother, Bill. She graduated from Brigham Young University, where she met the love of her life, Malan Robert Jackson. They were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple August 28, 1959. Malan preceded her in death July 8, 2021.

The hymn “I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go” would become Linda’s life calling. Linda supported Malan as they moved more than 50 times in their 62 years of marriage. Linda and Malan were called to open and be the first Mission Presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Taiwan. Linda was also by his side during his various jobs in Asia and would accompany him on their last church mission to Mongolia. They had many great experiences and found success and joy in their lives together.

Linda was a natural born missionary and teacher. When Malan was the mission president in Taiwan from 1971-1974, Linda was the Mission Mother to hundreds of missionaries. Linda was a key part of that mission's success. As a teacher, Linda taught at The American School of Guangzhou, Orem High School and in Wayne County, Utah. Linda loved to teach.

In 2008, Linda and Malan were called as missionaries to Mongolia where they developed a true love for the Mongolian people. Linda established church Family History Centers in Mongolia and taught the members how to do their own genealogy research. Linda delighted in doing genealogy work and continued doing this important work through the last year of her life.

Linda made countless friends during her many years. She had friends from Phoenix to Fujian and Springville to Ulaanbaatar. Linda had many gifts, including designing jewelry. She enjoyed wandering through local markets across Asia and gathering beautiful stones, beads, and unique pieces. Linda loved designing her one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.

Linda was also a collector. She collected old European perfume bottles in Macau. In Taiwan she collected little porcelain bird bowls for her canaries and wooden presses for mooncakes. In China she collected painted porcelain pillows.

In China, Linda wrote a book titled “Color Power” about color codes and how to match your personal color code to your clothing and makeup. The book was translated into Chinese and published in China. Linda loved movies and looked forward to going to them with her family. Linda touched many with her kind heart, her loving spirit and her gorgeous smile. She was beautiful inside and out and devoted her life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

She is survived by her eight children: Deborah Lin and Bruce Mason of Kaysville, Utah; Andrew Kent and Anne Elizabeth Jackson of Springville, Utah; Rebekah Li Trammell of Springville, Utah; Chen Hai and Liwen Han of Holladay, Utah; Elizabeth Lan and Lemuel Pedro of Sedona, Arizona; Tamar Ling and Les Allen of Springville, Utah; Joseph Malan and Stephanie Peay Jackson of Salem, Utah; and Joshua William and Catherine Marie Jackson of Orem, Utah, 26 grandchildren; and 24 greatgrandchildren; brother and sisters, brother Bill Gold (Sharon); and sisters Carol Curtis, Marsha Allen (David) and Tami Ruybal (Rudy).

Linda was preceded in death by her husband: Malan Robert Jackson, parents: Everett Van and Thelma Lucille Gruber Gold and sister Brenda McGee.

Funeral services will be Friday, March 31, 2023, at 11:00 A.M. in the Hobble Creek West LDS Stake Center, 555 South Averett Avenue in Springville, where friends may call for viewing Friday morning from 9:00 to 10:30 prior to the services.

Burial will take place at 4:00 P.M. in the Fremont Utah Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

Utah Approves $20 Million for Wildlife Crossings

by Alex Gonzalez, Utah News Connection

UTAH - Some $20 million of Utah's whopping $29 billion state budget will be spent on building wildlife crossings and fences across the state in an effort to keep wildlife off of highways.

Rep. Doug Owens, DSalt Lake, said the appropriation is "non-lapsing," meaning the funds can be spent over time. Owens added the federal government needs to approve a four-to-one match, which would make a grand total of $100 million available for the projects statewide.

"That is a lot of money for fencing, and crossings and underpasses," Owens pointed out. "Hopefully we'll get all that $100 million spent here in the next few years, to keep our roadways safe."

Owens noted before the legislative session began, he asked the Utah Department of Transportation to put together a list of the top 10 hot spots where wildlife mitigation projects are needed most. He added with the estimated cost of the projects, $100 million will be enough to fund them.

An estimated 5,000 deer and 1,000 elk are involved in vehicle collisions in Utah every year.

Owens argued the number of large animal and vehicle collisions needs to come down, to prevent injuries and deaths for humans and animals alike, as well as the material damage. He called the appropriation a "win for everybody."

"Utahns incur about $130 million of expense every year fixing cars that have hit animals," Owens reported. "And that doesn't even include any of the medical costs, and even the occasional fatality of a person hitting a large animal."

Utah made history in 1975 as the first state to complete a wildlife overpass on Interstate 15 near Beaver. Since then, more than 100 projects have been executed, and Owens added he is excited to see more implemented around the state.
