Jamie was an amazing person. I loved her sense of humor, her down to earth approach to life, her radiant smile and giving spirit. She inspired me to be a better person.
I will sorely miss her. It hurt my heart to know she was sick and grieving for her Naomi.
I love the Saxon family and pray the Lord will comfort them and give them peace.

We are very saddened at Jamie's passing. We have been blessed to have known her since coming to Satellite Beach. She was an amazing woman who shared her talents with many. She created amazing church newsletters every month, kept our bookclub going, embroidered many a baptismal towel and other items, sewed many beautiful pieces of clothing. She went thru many trials, but never seemed to complain. She will truly be missed by many of all ages. Peace and comfort to her family. God Bless Always 🥰
