Deborah Ann (Gardiner) Linge Obituary (1973 - 2015)

Our dear, sweet Deborah passed away suddenly on Jan. 16, 2015. Our loving wife, sister, mother, and friend will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. She has truly touched us all. Deborah was born on Oct. 13, 1973 to Donald and Mary Alice Gardiner. She grew up in the Taylorsville-Bennion area and attended Murray High School. She was very active on the school swim and water polo teams where she made many friends. Deborah's first born daughter, Jessalyn Dawn Horton, was her first treasure. Deborah later married the love of her life, Stephen Dee Linge. Together they had three beautiful girls, Skyler, Logan, and Gillian. Deborah's girls were the pride and joy of her life. Deborah's younger brothers appreciated her as an extremely loving and caring sister. She constantly looked out for them while growing up. She always had something positive to say in negative situations and looked for the best in them and others. She inspired them to be better individuals by providing such generosity and endless affection. Deborah was a talented artist and master game player (especially word games). She loved to read and relax at the Linge family pool. She especially enjoyed family outings to West Yellowstone where she could fish, ride snowmobiles, 4-wheelers and help in the family candy store. She had a gentle nature, a trait that is now evident in her little girls. She has taught them to be obedient, kind, well behaved and loving. Most of all, she loved being with her family. That was the focus of her life. Deborah is survived by her husband; Stephen, daughters; Jessalyn Horton, Skyler, Logan, Gillian, father and mother; Don and Mary Alice Gardiner, brothers; David (Jamie) Gardiner, Michael (Danica) Gardiner, Mark (Whitney) Gardiner, John (Hailee) Gardiner, mother and father-in-law; Diann and Dee Linge, brother and sister-in-laws: Sheri (Jeffrey) Wilkes, Clark Duncan, Traci (Jeffrey) Glushko, and DeeAnn (Kirk) Gratton.
