Alana Belle McCollum, 70, departed this life at her home in Jonesboro, AR, on Thursday, November 18, 2021. She was born on April 30, 1951, in Mountain Home, AR, to the late Kenneth Morgan Williams and Nina Belle (Billingsley) Williams.
Alana is survived by her husband, Kenneth McCollum of the home, one brother, Robert (Sharon) Williams of Melbourne, AR, one sister, Marilynn Hollaway of Imboden, AR, one daughter, Karla (Thomas) Morgan of Jonesboro, AR, one son, Kevin (Alichia) McCollum of Brookland, AR, two step-children, Kenneth (Beverly) McCollum of Paragould, AR, and Tamisha (Mark) McGuire of Swifton, AR, as well as nine grandchildren, Ryne Kimbrough, Kaitlynn Blackford, Tara Smith, T.J. Smith, Staci Morgan, Danielle Morgan, Peyton Henson, Alexandra Davis, Hailey Davis and four great-grandchildren, Gabe Ross, Riley Mascroft, Trip Smith and Grayson Smith.
Alana was a homemaker, and of the Baptist belief. Everyone called her "Lana Belle". She had an infectious laugh and humor that was enduring.. She told you she loved you, never met a stranger, and was always willing to give whatever she had to others. Alana had a fierce love for her dog, Bullet. The comfort and companionship that he gave warmed her heart.
A graveside service will be held at a future time. In lieu of flowers, the family would like to encourage others to do the things that Alana loved; read your Bible, pray, spend time with family and friends, plant a flower, call others to check on them, or have a fulfilling meal together, be kind and enjoy life's simple pleasures.
