Biography: Daisy Tribble Jacoway died January 15, 2007 at Parkway Village. The daughter of Judge A. L. Tribble and Emma Sanderson Tribble of DeQueen, Arkansas, Mrs. Jacoway attended Christian College in Columbia, Missouri, and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi Sorority. In 1934 she moved to Little Rock to work for the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, a New Deal agency. In 1938 she married Bronson Cooper Jacoway, a graduate of Harvard Law School and the son and grandson of former United States Congressmen. Richly endowed with a spirit of voluntarism and service, Mrs. Jacoway was active in community affairs, serving as President of several organizations, including the Junior League of Little Rock, the Fine Arts Club of Arkansas, the Aesthetic Club, the Ada Thompson Home Board, the Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club, and the Shadowlawn Garden Club. She also served as Vice-President of the Women’s City Club and the Pulaski County Bar Auxiliary. She served on the Boards of the Arkansas Arts Center, the Visiting Nurses Association, the Working Women’s Home, the Health and Welfare Council, and the Community Chest. A member of the First United Methodist Church, she served on the Board of Stewards. In 1976 she was honored as Sustainer of the Year by the Junior League of Little Rock. She was widely loved and respected for her sweet nature, her quiet force and dignity, and her intelligence and grace. Preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her two sisters, and an infant daughter, Mrs. Jacoway is survived by three children, Bronson Cooper Jacoway, Jr., and his wife Linda, of San Diego, California, Elizabeth Jacoway Watson and husband Tim, of Newport, Arkansas, and Madison Doak Jacoway and wife Connie of Denver, Colorado, and six grandchildren. The family wishes to thank the staff at Arkansas Hospice for their reassuring attentiveness to our Mother, especially Cheryl Kendrick. We are also grateful to the staff at Don’s Pharmacy, particularly Rick Rogers, for their patience and professionalism. Certainly not last, we want to thank the extraordinary care-giving team who comforted our Mother through the last four years of her life, especially Tina Wagoner, Elsie Moore, Ronda Parker and Sondra Maxwell. On Thursday, January 18 at 2:00 P.M., after a private burial, a service of memory and thanksgiving will be held at First United Methodist Church at 8th and Center. Immediately following the service, the family will greet friends in Fellowship Hall. You may sign the on-line guest book at, www.ruebelfuneralhome.com. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the Arkansas Arts Center, First United Methodist Church, or Arkansas Children’s Hospital (B. Cooper and Daisy T. Jacoway Endowment).
