She was always ready to help, no matter who or when it was. One of the ways she demonstrated this was her many hours of volunteer service with the Pink Ladies at McKay Dee Hospital.Her family was her greatest joy and her highest priority. She saw parenting as helping her children through life rather than telling them how to live it. She was considered to be Mom not only by her five children and their spouses, but also by their numerous friends and neighbors who enjoyed her warm company and wonderful cooking.Saxon was strong, intelligent, and giving, with a calm gentle spirit, but always up for an adventure. She could charm any baby. She enjoyed bowling, bridge, and was well-liked by all who knew her. Countless residents of Washington Terrace remember her as the postmistress of the Terrace Post Office for over twenty years.She is survived by her children: Greg (Judy) Wheelwright, San Jose CA; Lon (Jamee) Wheelwright, Spring City, UT; Penny (Brent) Jepperson, Syracuse, UT; Connie (Doug) Bunot, West Point, UT; and Susan (Jack) Berger, Jacksonville, OR; 14 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
