Mitzi Wood Paxton, 80, of Glasgow, Virginia, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Thursday, December 17, 2020.

Mitzi was a devoted mother, grandmother, and family member and loved nothing more than spending time with her family and friends.

As an employee of Mohawk Industries in Glasgow, she began her career in the personnel office when the company was known as Lee's Carpets and subsequently Burlington. During her 30-plus years there she was well-known and admired by the many people she interacted with on a regular basis.

She is survived by her son, R. Nathan Paxton and his wife, Carrie; and her two grandsons, Evan and Benjamin of Taiwan; brother, Charlie Wood and his wife, Shirley; and a sister, Susan Wood, all of Glasgow.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Mary Beth Tolley, as well as her parents, Woodrow and Audrey Wood. She also leaves behind many other family members and friends who will sadly miss her.

A private family graveside was held at Glasgow Cemetery on Monday, December 21. A memorial service will be planned for the summer.

Gifts in Mitzi's memory may be made to the Glasgow Baptist Church.

Arrangements were handled by Bolling, Grose, & Lotts Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
