Marilyn Kay Little

Marilyn ‘Kay’ Hensley Becker Little was born on March 1st, 1962 to Eugene Hensley & Laquita Hensley Johnson. She passed away on September 25th, 2025 after a long illness. Kay spent her early years with her beloved cousins, Theresa, Bobby, Linda, Reena, Jonnie and sister Patty, playing on Granny Young’s farm, often reminiscing about her wonderful childhood and all the mischief they would get in to. They would play all day on the creek, where they would swing from a rope and jump into the water. After it rained they would float down the creek in a tub, have cow pattie fights and ride Uncle Don’s calves. As they got older, they would ride horses all over town. I believe Mom & Dad received more than one phone call from people complaining that Kay was riding through their yard. Kay loved riding horses, motorcycles and she even talked daddy into buying her not 1, not 2, but 3 VW Bug’s. She had orange, white and her favorite color yellow. Although she loved her horses, her favorite hobby by far was laying in the sun on tin foil, slathered in baby oil, crisco or butter. She never missed a chance to tell her little sister, Gina, that she would never be able to have a tan like her’s. On September 6th 1980, Kay married Randy Becker and from that union they would have two son’s: Justin Dean & Jobie Eugene Becker. They raised their boys in Lafayette, Indiana, where Kay worked for a number of years at Purdue University. Kay returned to Oklahoma and would marry Robert Little on September 25, 2009, they remained married until his death in 2023. Kay is preceded in death by her father Eugene Hensley, Randy Becker, Robert Little, grandparents Clayborn & Lettie Hensley, Granville & Dorena Young, aunts Elaine Hensley, Evelyn 'snookie' Young, LaCoretta Grimes, uncles Granville 'Junior' Young, Don Young, Buddy Young and Johnnie Mack Grimes, cousin Linda Young.
