Tacy L. (Smith) Pearson was born August 23, 1919 to Joe and Lona Smith in Howard County, Arkansas. The family moved to Oklahoma in January, 1920. After a long illness, the Lord took her home April 24, 2009. Tacy graduated from Pioneer High School in 1938 and from Oklahoma College for Women in 1942. During her working career, Tacy taught science at various schools, including Hastings and Idabel, Oklahoma; Friona, Texas; and Hot Springs, Arkansas. She also worked in the chemistry lab of the F.B.I. in Washington D.C. During the summer after her year at Friona, Texas, she met Jack Pearson and they were married in 1958. She completed her teaching career of 45 years at Putnam City High School, where she retired in 1980.
