Lynda Haycock Earl

In Loving Memory

Lynda Haycock Earl, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2026, at the age of 79.

Lynda was born on July 3, 1947, in Tremonton, Utah, to Warren and Norma Haycock. She was born and raised in Deweyville, Utah, and graduated from Bear River High School. She later attended Utah State University, where she continued to learn, grow, and build the life she loved.

Lynda was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her faith and love for the Savior were an important part of her life and were reflected in the way she served others, cared for her family, and generously gave of herself to those around her.

Lynda spent 30 years alongside her husband as he served in the United States Army. Those years gave her a love for adventure, travel, and experiencing the world. She especially loved traveling throughout Europe and shopping in the little shops along the way. She was always so proud when those little European shops would trust her enough to take her personal check. More than the places she visited, Lynda loved the people she met. She had a gift for making friends wherever she went.

Lynda was a woman who was always busy creating, serving, and helping others. She loved sewing, crafts, and making beautiful homemade quilts. Her greatest joy often came from doing something for someone else. She was constantly organizing projects and finding ways to serve her community and those in need. Charity work was especially important to her, and the Festival of Trees held a very special place in her heart.

Lynda also had a true love for University of Utah football. Saturdays were made for watching the Utes, cheering them on, and sharing in every exciting moment. She loved her Utes and never hesitated to let everyone know when it was game time.

And then there were the hats. Lynda had a special love for crazy, fun, and unforgettable hats. She wasn’t afraid to wear something that would make people smile, and somehow, the crazier the hat, the better. Her hats were just another reflection of her fun-loving personality and her willingness to stand out and enjoy life.

She was also fiercely competitive and will forever be remembered as the ultimate leg-wrestling champion—a title she was very proud of and one that will undoubtedly be debated by her family for years to come.

But as much as Lynda loved traveling, crafting, serving, football, crazy hats, and keeping busy, the greatest joy of her later years was her grandchildren. She adored them and was their biggest cheerleader. She never missed an opportunity to support them, especially at their games and activities. She cheered loudly, proudly, and sometimes at the most inappropriate times—which, of course, only made the memories better. Her grandchildren always knew that Grandma was in their corner.

Lynda leaves behind a family who will miss her deeply and carry her memory with them always. She is survived by her son, Gerald Earl; daughter, Jane Jugler (Chris Baldwin); grandchildren, Rylee, Bentley, Beckham, Ollie, and Abby; sister, Susan Andrews (Brad Andrews); and many beloved nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Warren and Norma Haycock; brothers, Lloyd Joseph Haycock and Paul Warren Haycock; and grandson, Lane Michael Owen.

Lynda lived a life filled with adventure, creativity, service, laughter, and love. She made friends wherever she went, gave generously of herself, and found happiness in the people she loved. Her greatest legacy will not be the places she traveled or the things she created, but the love and memories she gave to her family.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered—especially when someone gets a little too loud cheering from the sidelines, puts on a crazy hat, pulls out a sewing machine, finds a great little shop, turns on a Utes football game, or challenges the family to a leg-wrestling match.

Until we meet again, Mom. We love you.

Graveside services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at the Deweyville Cemetery, 11250 UT-38, Deweyville, UT 84309.
