Norval McClellan Kirby, 89, passed away suddenly while working at his Bakersfield home on June 20, 2005. Norval born June 11, 1916 in Sanford, CO was the first child of Parley Kirby and Bettina Evelyn Holt. The family moved to the Los Angeles area when he was young, and eventually settled in Bakersfield. He owned his own business, became a probation officer for the county and finally worked as a salesman for Barber Pontiac. He spent some of his retirement years in Roseburg, OR where he loved to fish, but eventually returned to Bakersfield. Norval was active in his church and was proud of his Mormon pioneer heritage. Family history research was more than a hobby to him. Thoughts of his family members were ever with him. He is survived by his wife Betty, former wife, Lois; brother, Howard; the families of his children, Ron, Karen Jett, Dwight and Paula Meeks and the extensive Kirby family.
