of Harrison, AR
December 1, 1972 - February 11, 2014
Surrounded by her loved ones, Kelly Sue McBee, age 41, went to be with the Lord Tuesday, February 11, 2014, at Hospice of the Hills in Harrison, AR. Kelly was born in Harrison December 1, 1972, the daughter of Ronald and Helen (Kelley) Delk and Rodney and Lucy Sharp. She spent 20 years with the love of her life, Jim, whom she married July 31, 1993.
Kelly is survived by her loving husband, Jim McBee; three children, Kendall Ryan McBee, Kody Lane McBee and Katelyn Nicole McBee, all of the home; her parents, Ronald and Helen Delk of Harrison and Rodney and Lucy Sharp of Yellville; a brother and sister-in-law, Kirk and Shannon Delk, of Harrison; and a brother, Jamie Sharp, of Yellville.
Kelly is also survived by her mother-in-law, Patsy McBee, of Harrison; Jim's brothers and sisters-in-law, Steve and Missy McBee, Dickie and Serena McBee, and John and Ginger McBee; her nieces and nephews, Kalie McBee, Allie McBee, Stephanie McBee, Haley McBee and Hallie Beth Delk, Aaron McBee and Shawn McBee, all of Harrison; her grandparents, MD and Jonnie Sharp, of Bergman; a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, close friends and her dog Macy. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Willis and Luany Kelley and Plumer and LaVita Delk.
Kelly loved people and she spent her entire life serving others. Many friends and family can testify of her skills in the kitchen. She was a fabulous cook and known for hosting many events along with her willingness to help others. Kelly was happiest when she was with her children. They were her pride and joy. She will be remembered for her compassion, courage, strength and unshakable faith. Kelly was one of a kind and her legacy of love is weaved throughout our community.
She was a beloved member of Faith Assembly of God Church. She enjoyed her years as a stay at home mom. She later worked in the Harrison and Bergman school districts. Most recently she worked in Accounts Payable at FedEx. Kelly was a light to those around her whether at home, school, or work. Her family, friends, former students and co-workers can attest to her Christ-like character. "Kelly" means warrior. She certainly proved to be that, always giving God glory throughout the battle.
Visitation was Friday, February 14, 2014, at Faith Assembly of God Church.
Services were Saturday, February 15, 2014, at Faith Assembly of God Church with Rev. Arlis Thrasher, Rev. Brian Herring and Clint Powers speaking.
Burial was in Maplewood Cemetery following the services.
Pallbearers were Kirk Delk, Jamie Sharp, Kendall McBee, Steve McBee, Dickie McBee and John McBee.
Honorary pallbearers were Serena McBee, Shane Carico, DeAnna Nichols, Tammy Robinson, Carrie James, Dr. Cathy Clary and Maplewood Cemetery.
The family has asked in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Hospice House, 501 E. Sherman, PO Box 1967, Harrison, AR 72601.
Kelly, will surely be missed. She touched the lives of many. Won't it be a blessing when the Bible's promise is fulfilled when we can see our dead loved ones again. "Your dead ones will live...they will rise up" and it also says " the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it" Isaiah 26:29 & Psalms 37:29.
This gives us the hope to see our dead loved ones again. Hold into them forever,hear their laughter and see their smile. I am so sorry for your loss but I hope this gives you some comfort.
We are all deeply sorry. Our hearts are full of concern and sorrow for her husband, children, and every member of her family.

It is so difficult to put in to words the sorrow I feel for Kelly's family,......I know she will be greatly missed.....we are blessed to have our precious memories of those we love so much..remember the good times shared with her on earth, but look forward to the day " when we all get to heaven" and can "sing and shout the victory".... What we rejoicing there will be....and I don't think we will have to wait much longer ....God Bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand as you continue to mourn her absence .
My heart goes out to all of you on the loss of your beloved Kelly. Someone once told me that all those who fall asleep in death but remain in God's memory have the chance to live in perfect health on an earth that is free of all the problems that exist today.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God grant you His greatest comfort. I have fond memories of Kelly as a little girl at Valley Springs school where I taught 1st and 2nd grades.
Helen, Ronald, and all your Families,
God bless you all, I am so sorry to hear of Kelly"s passing. But she is not gone from you, only preparing a place for those she loves, awaiting the time of your arrival.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I have lost so many members of my family. Losing loved ones is overwhelmingly painful. One thing that brings me some comfort is what the Bible says at Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." We look to God through Jesus and his Kingdom to do this. My wife and I hope you find comfort as you endure your loss.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are for the Lord to give you comfort.
Helen and family I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you all.
