Born on October 28, 1939 in Lafayette County, MS to the late Curtis and Ellen Garrison Henderson, Mrs. Styers was a charter member of North Oxford Baptist Church.

She instilled a great work ethic in her children by seamlessly managing her career as the office manager at Baptist Memorial Hospital, raising her family and staying involved in community efforts.
