Marge Forum, 93, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2026, at the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow, Montana. Marge was the oldest of three and born in Great Falls, Montana to Oliver and Marie Haney. In 1957, Marge married Norris Forum and they shared 68 years together before Norris’s passing in 2025.
Marge set down deep roots in Glasgow and filled a lot of roles in her life, wife, mother, grandmother, friend and mentor. The dearest of friends affectionately called Marge “Maggie” and “mother superior”. One of the greatest joys of Marge’s life was to be mom to Faith and Erick, and most especially grandma to Kasey.
Marge was a committed and loyal member of the Glasgow Evangelical Church where enduring and meaningful relationships, most of which span over 60 years were formed. Those relationships truly demonstrate how much she loved her friends and family. Marge conducted a bible study for over 25 years. She continued the bible study for as long as she could and even made her ability to host the bible study a specific requirement for the move into Prairie Ridge several years ago. In the later years, amid numerous health struggles, she always said God kept her on this earth for a reason and that was to pray for people and share God’s love.
Marge loved watching her grandson grow up, rodeo and become the wonderful young man he is. Marge loved to cook and entertain. She truly enjoyed making meals for friends and family special and memorable with her knack for cooking and talent for decorating. She would think nothing of hosting a dinner for twelve on the spur of the moment, a talent that was not passed down to her daughter! Marge was always willing to give her time, and share her advice and wisdom, even if you didn’t know you needed it.
Marge was preceded in death by her parents, Oliver and Marie Haney, and her husband, Norris Forum. Marge is survived by her children Faith (Bruce) of Colorado, and Erick of Larslan, Montana, and her beloved grandson, Kasey Forum.
Marge is also mourned and missed by her brother, Jim Haney and his wife Jan of Darby, Montana and her sister, Kathy Hamilton of Sequim, Washington, as well as nieces and nephew who will carry forward fond memories knowing they were truly and deeply loved.
The family is so grateful for the care she received at Prairie Ridge Village and Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital, and most importantly, all the friends who took the time to visit and share a story or two with her. While we will miss Marge, we are so very grateful for her deep and abiding faith in God, a blessing of comfort and peace.
A Celebration of Marge's Life will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, October 19, 2026, at the Glasgow Evangelical Church with inurnment at Highland Cemetery. A reception will follow back at the church. Online condolences may be left for the family at bellmortuarymt.com.
