Since their marriage in 1942, their service projects together in Utah County have been varied and numerous. They were key figures in the building of a non-denominational chapel at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. "The Paxmans had such a passion and commitment to seeing a chapel built at UVRMC that they became a catalyst for other community partners to come together and -see the project through to completion," said Reverend Dean Jackson of the Rock Canyon Assembly of God church. The Paxmans have also taken interest in preserving history. As members of the Historic Provo Preservation Foundation in Provo, they were instrumental in saving Academy Square on University Avenue in Provo, which now houses the Provo City Library. They also owned and operated the McCurdy Doll Museum for 25 years; located in Provo, the museum boasts a collection of more than 4,000 historic dolls.
