She was born November 10, 1932, in Wapello, Idaho, to Ethel Harbaugh and Anglo Moore Saxton. She survived blood poisoning when she was 10 months and wasn't expected to live. She had to learn to walk and talk over again. The family moved to Ogden when she was 2 and moved back to Wapello when she was 4. She attended Wapello Elementary School and Blackfoot High School. She graduated from seminary in 1948. She received her GED in 1986.
She married Lynn Everett (Godfrey) Saulls on August 7, 1949. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on December 15, 1961.

She loved to dance, sing, crochet, play the piano, work on scrapbooks, Elvis movies and songs, numerous old country singers, and family gatherings.
