Chyleene Marie Bivins, 51, passed away unexpectedly in Lansing on August 1, 2016. She was born on May 23, 1965, to Robert Keith and Betty (Reed) Ambrose in Jackson, Michigan. She attended the Columbia Central High School, then earned a Bachelor degree in Business at Northwood University. She lived her life for God and family. If she could have had her way, she would have been everyone's Grandma. She showered people in many tangible ways with gifts, but even more importantly with her love. It has been said, that if everyone had half the heart that she had, that the world would be a much better place. She loved life, and had a very profound love for God, and was very determined to deliver her love.

Chyleene loved the NASCAR races and enjoyed sharing the excitement with her family and friends. Camping with either family or church family was a great way to spend time together as far as she was concerned. One of her favorite locations for camping was in the Mackinaw area. Chyleene was one of the founders and leaders of the church Missionettes and very proud of the group and the activities they did together.

Chyleene is survived by her husband, John; children, Keith (fiancé, Jennifer), Brandy, and Laura (Matt) Crowell; 3 grandchildren, Lydia, Brie, Brady; mother, Betty (Dan) Doolittle; sisters, Michelle (Bill) Matt, Shawn (Mark) Premer; step-mother, Carol Ambrose; many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her son, Anthony Bivins; and her father, Keith Ambrose.

Funeral services will be at 11 AM on Friday, August 5, 2016 at Charlotte Assembly of God with Pastors Shane Bryant, and Laura Woodbury officiating. Visitation is from 2-4 PM and 6-8 PM Thursday, August 4 at the Charlotte Assembly of God. Interment will take place at Maple Hill Cemetery, Charlotte. If desired, the family suggests memorial contributions to "Bridging The Gap" (Charlotte Assembly of God), which she was instrumental in developing.
