Holly Lynn (Wanda Fay) Hensley, born on September 22, 1950, in Hohenwald, Tennessee, passed away on July 9, 2025, at the age of 74, in Milford, Michigan.

Holly was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Her life was filled with the simple joys of playing Euchre, knocking down pins at the bowling alley, and relishing time spent with her loved ones; especially cooking for the family holiday gatherings. She drove a school bus for Taylor Schools for over 25 years and is still fondly remembered by these students. Holly's warm spirit and infectious laughter will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Edward Hensley and Verna LeBlanc, her grandson Chadrick, and her brother Danny Hensley.

Holly leaves behind her loving children: Misty (Chris) Jordan, the late Richard Runions, Michael (Mindy) Runions, and Kimberly Kepke. She was a proud grandmother to Michael (Rebecca), Shelby (Cody), Shanda, Alanda, Justin, Dyllan, Jacob, Alyssa, and Ashley, as well as a devoted great-grandmother to thirteen great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by her siblings, Brenda (Valdet) Zeqiri, William (Lisa) LeBlanc, and Lewis (Robin) Hensley, along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and lifelong friends who will forever hold her memory close in their hearts.

Holly's legacy of love, kindness, and joy will continue to shine through those she has left behind.
