Amory – Karen Sara Byars, 48, passed away on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 in Columbus. Born in Rockford, Illinois, on September 18, 1969, she was a daughter of Noah Randolph and Audrey Fredonia Clark Stanphil.
Karen attended Okolona High School. She married her sweetheart, Norman Byars, and they spent 17 happy years together raising a beautiful family.
