Paul Graydon Karns

Paul Graydon Karns, 73, of Liberty, passed away on Sunday, November 3, 2024.

Born October 27, 1951, in Wellsboro, he was a son of the late Joseph and Rachel (English) Karns.

Paul was a graduate of Liberty High School. After graduation, he embarked on a fulfilling career at the former Ward Foundry now Ward Manufacturing LLC in Blossburg, where he worked until his retirement.

Beyond his professional life, Paul was an avid sports enthusiast. He enjoyed playing softball and was a devoted fan of Penn State football and the Pittsburgh Steelers. His love for the game was only matched by his love for his family, especially his granddaughters, with whom he cherished every moment.

Surviving are his two children, Beverley A. “Ann” Karns (Bill Tully) of Liberty and Jason P. Karns of Washington; three granddaughters, Alyssa Karns, Olivia Tully, and Adara Karns; and four siblings, Joseph Karns, Gary Karns, Karen Blackwell, and Karla Karns.
