Karen Saxton
Karen Saxton went to be with the Lord after she was killed in a car accident on Highway 58 at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, September 22, 2018.
She is now in heaven and joins her father, Charles Edward Niager, along with three of her unborn children.
Karen was a teacher for 42 years and spent the past 24 years working at Westview Elementary School. As a young single woman, Karen used the 21st and 22nd years of her life to serve as a missionary in India, living out the gospel by teaching elementary age children.
Karen had a tender heart, a gentle spirit, and loved others well: sacrificially and joyfully. Of all her accomplishments, her greatest was being a sinner saved by Grace. She will be dearly missed.
Karen is survived by her son, Jeff Reid; her husband, Tim Saxton; her mother, Willene Niager; sisters, Sheryl (Reid) Saxton, Patrice (Nelson) Mitchell; brothers, Keith (Janet Niager) and Paul (Maribeth) Niager.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel.
