April 5, 1940 - August 18, 2025
Arcie Lasley, 85, of Conway passed away peacefully on August 18, 2025 after a brief battle with cancer.
She was born on April 5, 1940 in the small farming community of Liberty to the late Claud and Gladys Ballard. Arcie graduated from Enola High School, where she met the love of her life and future husband of 59 years, the late Bobby Joe Lasley. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family and hard work, including many years working side by side in their family business, Lasley Acoustics.
Arcie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. In the 1970s, she was active in the National Organization of Women, a cause she championed with passion and purpose.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Raymond, Cleo (''Jess'') and Jeff Ballard; her daughter, Jo Carol Lasley and her granddaughter, Cassie Flowers.
Arcie is survived by her sister, Ruth Brady; two daughters, Claudette Flowers and Leslie Dawes (Larry Dawes); four grandchildren, Lee Freyaldenhoven, Alex Flowers, Lauren Ott (Andrew Ott) and Jeffrey Dawes; two great-grandchildren, Liam Gardner and Annabelle Ott and her nephew, Scott Brady.
The family would like to thank the staff at Comfort Care Center in Little Rock for their compassion and care during Arcie's final days.

I am so saddened to hear about Ms. Arcie's passing. She was a schoolmate of my mom, Ferne Stone Pettingill and I cared for her as a nurse..she was such a precious lady! Prayers for comfort and peace during this difficult time.

While sadly we didn't get to visit with all of you as often as we would have liked, each time I saw your Mom she made a positive impression on me. She was always so full of life, fun to be around, and made you feel welcome. I believe anyone that spent time around her would leave with a smile and the feeling that they were loved. Mom has shared many stories about Aunt Arcie with me since her passing that have only reinforced my feelings stated above. The world lost a great lady. We will be praying for all of you.
