Linda Sue Dye

With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Linda Sue Dye, lovingly known as “Sue” to those who knew and loved her. Sue passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, May 2, 2026, after courageously battling pancreatic cancer for more than two years.

Sue was born on March 24, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Joan and John Varley. Her mother later married Clifton Guy Scott, who joined in raising Sue throughout her life. Sue was a fraternal twin and the elder of the two. The twins shared a close and enduring bond throughout their 79 years.

Sue had two daughters from her first marriage. She later married DeLoy Dye on August 22, 1988, and the couple were sealed in the Taylorsville Utah Temple on December 6, 2024.

Shortly after their marriage, Sue and DeLoy purchased a boat. Despite Sue’s fear of the water and her inability to swim, they spent many days boating, with Sue always fully secured in her life vest—one so snug it felt as though even the jaws of life couldn’t remove it. Many treasured memories were made on the water, including the day Sue bravely rode the water banana, conquering her fears.

Sue retired from the Utah Department of Transportation in 2009, having spent much of her career in the Comptroller’s Office. During her time at UDOT, she formed friendships that remain strong and meaningful today.

In 2002, Sue and DeLoy purchased six acres in Hanna, Utah, where they spent years camping and improving the property together. In 2013, they built a cabin that they designed themselves. Summers were spent there hosting family reunions and creating lasting memories. The nearby Uintah Mountains provided easy access to snowmobiling and ATV adventures, activities that Sue greatly enjoyed.

Sue loved sewing, quilting, and cross-stitching. Her passion for sewing led her to create clothing and blankets for her children and grandchildren. Later, she expanded her talents to embroidery, where her exceptional attention to detail truly shone.

Sue loved to laugh, and her laugh was loud, joyful, and contagious—bringing happiness to everyone around her.

Sue is survived by her loving husband, DeLoy Dye; their children, Chalise (Clair) Provost and Robyn Scott, Tonya (Ryan) Yamauchi, Michael Dye, Kevin (Joyce) Dye, and Susan Petty; their grandchildren, Zachary (Jessi) Scott, Mackelle (Darren) Hendrix, Jordan Pope, Breanne Yamauchi, Riley (Ella) Yamauchi, Kelsey (Matt) Richins, Reagan (Corbyn) Anderson, Rhett Yamauchi, Cody and Kennedy Petty; Jason (Tricia) Provost, Ryan (Michelle) Provost, and Jake (Melanie) Provost; their greatgrandchildren, Kai, Miya, and Theia Scott, Riggins and August Hendrix, Ren and Kyra Richins, and Ryan Yamauchi Jr; Ben (Sydney) Provost, Emma (Andrew) Thomas, and Nate Provost, Parker, Kash, Kinzie, and Shaylee Provost, and Kate and Millie Provost; her siblings Billy, Karen, Ann, and Guy; and her nieces and nephews, Kelley, Molly, Charlie, and Hayley.

Sue is preceded in death by her parents, Joan and ‘Clif’ Scott, and John Varley; her sister, Vicki; and her nephew, Robert.
