Ms. Karen Leigh Grzanich

Karen Leigh Grzanich, 43, passed away Wednesday, August 1, 2018 at her home in Byram, Mississippi. Visitation will be held on Friday, August 3, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, August 4, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. at Chancellor Funeral Home in Byram, Mississippi. Services will commence at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel with interment following at Lakewood Memorial Park. Karen was a lifelong member of Griffith Memorial Baptist Church and found joy while working within the children’s ministry, especially when it concerned the GA’s. Karen was a graduate of Forest Hill High School where she spent most of her spare time involved in numerous team sports, drill team and other extra-circular activities. Karen attended Hinds Community College and was one of the first ever recipients of an Associate’s Degree in Radiological Science. Karen went on to receive her Radiologic Technologist certification from the University of Mississippi Medical Center and continued her training in mammography. One of Karen’s qualities that stood out was her love for her children. She attempted to attend each and every event in which her children were involved ranging from beauty pageants to ball fields. She was so proud of their accomplishments. If you knew Karen, you knew that you may not be able to count on her being on time, but you could certainly count on her being there. Karen is survived by her daughters, Ryleigh and Amory and son, Braxton; mother, Kathy Stewart; sister, Jackie (Freddie) Brooks; brother, Kevin (Mandy) Stewart; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Karen was predeceased by her father, Gary Stewart. She will be dearly missed by all. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Griffith Memorial Baptist Church, 5275 Terry Road, Jackson, Mississippi 39212 or the American Cancer Society.
