"Kentuckian by birth, an Arkansan by choice." Marjorie Hanna Kirby Forrest, 83, of North Little Rock, AR, passed away on April 27, 2022.

Marjorie was born October 4, 1938, to Mr. and Mrs. Mark Hanna in Fordsville, KY. After marrying her husband, Maynard Kirby, in 1960, the couple soon moved to North Little Rock, AR. Marjorie taught home economics at North Little Rock Senior high school for 30 years until her retirement in 1995.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Maynard Kirby, sister Lucille (Argus) Smith, and nephew Gregory (Gayla) Smith.

Marjorie is survived by her daughters Marla (Kevin) McGloin of West Gardiner, ME, and Maurita (Lad) Langley of Harrison, AR. She leaves precious memories to four grandchildren, Christopher Cruz of Atlanta, GA, Rachel Cruz of Rancho Palo Verdes, CA, Monica (Tyler) Litfin of Brainerd, MN, and Laura (Joshua) Unum of Orlando, FL. Marjorie was also the beloved great-grandmother to Katelyn, Brayden, and Colton Litfin.
