Belinda Mize Dyar, 59, of Tylertown, died Oct. 9, 2022, at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson. She was born Oct. 28, 1962, in Johnson City, TN.

She was a member of Tylertown Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School, children’s choir, and sang in the adult choir. Mrs Dyar was a dancer to her core. She grew up dancing and was a proud alumni of the Dixie Darlings at USM. So much of her joy came from sharing her passion for dance with others, coaching teams at Southwest Community College and Parklane Academy. One of her greatest passions was working at Parklane Academy as the elementary librarian.
She was preceded in death by her father, James E Mize.
