O'ahu Cemetery Pūpū Theatre 2026: "Caring for our Community" runs for 2 weeks this June.

Meet Maria Jane Chamberlain Forbes (1832–1909) — Born in Honolulu to missionaries Levi and Maria Chamberlain. She was the first child born in the 1831 Chamberlain House at Hawaiian Mission Houses — the very site where HMH stands today.

Educated at Punahou and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, she married Rev. Anderson O. Forbes. Following her husband's death, she was appointed manager of the Lunalilo Home for Aged Hawaiians in 1889, a role she held for 13 years. Lunalilo Home continues to serve the community today at its campus in Hawaiʻi Kai.

Portrayed by Karen Valasek.
