Lillian Louise Thompson Lee, 89, of Dallas, Texas, passed away Monday, Feb. 22, 2016, at home surrounded by family and friends. She was born in Yazoo City, Miss., Oct. 15, 1926.

Lillian graduated high school in Helena, Ark., in 1944.

Lee Aug. 19, 1950, at The First Methodist Church of Greenville, Miss. Lillian had a passion for Jesus Christ, children of all ages and anyone in need. She was a woman of strong Christian faith — which she carried with her every day, was devoted to her family and had a strong compassion for others.
