Lillian "Lily" McBee went to be with the Lord on May 10, 2019 in Vilonia, Ark. at the age of 13. Lily was born on July 26, 2005 in Jacksonville, Ark. She leaves to cherish her memory, her grandparents, Ralph and Jan Garrison of Vilonia; her father, Tim Collins of Little Rock; and her brother, Noah McBee of Vilonia.
