Kayla Ann Hanks Forbes

Kayla Ann Hanks Forbes, age 30, of Glen St. Mary, Florida passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 11, 2019. Kayla was born in Jacksonville, Florida. She was the daughter of Granville O. Hanks and Diana Lynn Albert and had lived in Baker County for the past 15 years. Kayla was a loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She enjoyed the outdoor life, fishing, camping, and riding around singing to the music. But her greatest joy was spending time playing with her boys, putting a smile on their face at every opportunity. Kayla had a kind heart and a free spirit. She could put a smile on anyone's face and make the dullest of times fun. She will truly be missed by all.
Kayla was preceded in death by her brother, Aaron Shaffner.
