Wryan Heather Kralick

October 9, 1971 - February 27, 2026

Born in Savannah , Georgia

Our beautiful Wryan has moved on.

Wryan was first and foremost a mom who loved her children more than anything. After living in Alaska for many years she came home to Columbia. Wryan worked as a caregiver while putting herself through school to become a barber. She was a people person, so personable and upbeat; with such a fun nature that people fell in love with her instantly. Wryan suffered great tragedy, but her strong will, determination, optimism, and bravery got her through it and she imparted these traits to her family. The support of her beloved sister, children, and the birth of her grandson empowered her to persevere. Wryan loved music, was a beauty enthusiast, enjoyed cooking. She so loved our family beach time.

Her carefree sweet light will never dim in our hearts.

Wryan is survived by her son, Evan Kralick, daughter Sara Kralick, grandson Jasper Blue Kralick, sister Ashley Stepp, and many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.

Wryan is pre-deceased by her adoring parents, father Melvin Hamilton Stepp of Columbia, and mother, Marsha Wryan Woollen Stepp of Columbia.

The family would like to thank Nabilla Williams, Wryan’s caregiver and friend. We would also like to thank the staff of Prisma Health Baptist Medical ICU and Medical Stepdown Units and in particular the Respiratory Therapy Departments of both Prisma Health Baptist and Richland hospitals, Prisma Home Health, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.
