Kristine Henrys
Kristine “Kris” “Grams” Henrys (Wyble), the best woman on the planet who would do anything for her family, went to be with Jesus on Thursday, January 23, 2025, after a short courageous battle with cancer. Kris, 65, of Charlotte, was born on Christmas Day in 1959 in Lansing, MI, the daughter of Norman Henrys and Dixie Hanks. She graduated from Charlotte High School class of 1978. On July 31, 1982, Kris married Thomas Wyble and together spent the next 27 years building their family and creating memories. Over the years Kris worked as a bus driver, as a farmer’s wife, but most importantly as a homemaker to take care of her family. She devoted her life to the Lord and was a very proud born-again Christian. Many will remember Kris for her contagious laugh, her recognizable whistle, her beautiful smile, and her love for others.
Kris was a jack of all trades, she enjoyed woodworking, doing arts and crafts, tending to her flowers and gardens, camping, spending time on the beach in Pentwater, and horseback riding. Her grandchildren meant the world to her. Grams could often be found playing Roblox with them, going on shopping adventures, playing games, watching movies, and just being in their presences. Above all she was proud that she taught her family how to love the Lord.
Kris is survived by her daughters, Lacy (Rico) Fuentes and Jamie (Justin) VanAlstine; seven grandchildren, Jaycee, Jayden, Carter, Drew, Maliah, and Harper; bonus son, Brandon Schultz, and his sons, Camden and Beckett; step mom, Loraine Henrys; siblings, Kimberly Baker, Sherri (Mike) Guerin, Heather (Steve) Hoye, Kevin (Pam) Henrys, and Keith Henrys; many loved nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and extended family members and friends; best friend, Lorrie Tate; and her beloved dogs, Hank and Rodney. She was predeceased by her husband, Thomas Wyble; grandson, Kylen Rico; sister, Tonja Ballmer; mother, Dixie; and her father, Norman.
