1936-2025
With profound reverence and heartfelt sorrow, Mr. J. Morrill Gray and the devoted staff of Paradise Funeral Home humbly announce the homegoing of our beloved Ms. Earmie Gene Kirk.
Though the shadow of death has passed over, we stand firm in the eternal promise that death does not have the final word. For the Word declares, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55). Ms. Kirk has not been lost to us but has been received into the everlasting arms of our Lord, where there is no more pain, no more sorrow, and no more tears.
While our hearts grieve her physical departure, our spirits rejoice in the blessed assurance that she now rests in the presence of the Almighty. Love endures beyond the veil of mortality, and Ms. Kirk's spirit lives on—radiant and free—having exchanged her earthly tent for a heavenly dwelling.
Funeral Services will be 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at The Ark Enrichment Baptist Church 1521 South Poplar Street, Pine Bluff, Arkansas 71601. Interment will be in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens by Paradise Funeral Home of Pine Bluff.
The family will receive family and friends from 5:00 p.m.- 6:00 pm on Friday, December 12, 2025, at Paradise Funeral Home.
"Only Paradise Can Serve You Better!"
