FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement from the Sheriff

HONORING MR. CLINCY TRAMMELL, JR. ON THE CELEBRATION OF HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY: Jefferson County, Arkansas - May 3, 2026 - It is both my honor and privilege, on behalf of the men and women of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, to recognize and celebrate a truly extraordinary milestone in the life of a remarkable citizen, Mr. Clincy Trammell, Jr., as he marks his 100th birthday.

Reaching a century of life is an achievement that few are blessed to experience, but doing so with the grace, dignity, and impact demonstrated by Mr. Trammell is nothing short of exceptional. His life stands as a living testament to faith, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to family and community.

Mr. Trammell's legacy is deeply rooted in the fabric of Jefferson County. As a proud veteran of World War II, he served his country with honor in the United States Air Force, embodying the very principles of service and sacrifice that continue to define our nation's greatest generation. Upon returning home, he carried that same spirit of dedication into his life's work.

Alongside his beloved wife, Thedora Clemmons Trammell, he built not only a family but a lasting institution, Trammell's Beauty and Barber Supply Inc. What began as a vision in 1965 on University Avenue grew into one of the most successful Black-owned and family-operated businesses in Pine Bluff and across the State of Arkansas. Through that enterprise, Mr. Trammell helped shape the economic vitality of our community while fostering a sense of pride, culture, and entrepreneurship that continues to inspire generations.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, it is Mr. Trammell's character that truly defines his legacy. His life reflects a steadfast devotion to faith, a deep love for family, and a genuine commitment to uplifting those around him. He has served as a pillar in this community, not through titles or recognition alone, but through consistent, quiet strength and enduring example.

In law enforcement, we often speak about service, leadership, and commitment. Mr. Trammell has lived those values for 100 years. His story reminds us that true leadership is not measured in moments, but in a lifetime of impact.

On this historic occasion, we celebrate not just the number of years, but the quality of those years, the lives touched, the barriers broken, and the legacy built.

On behalf of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Clincy Trammell, Jr. May his life continue to serve as a guiding light for all of us, and may his legacy endure for generations to come.

Happy 100th Birthday, Mr. Trammell, and thank you for a lifetime of inspiration.

Respectfully,

Sheriff Lafayette Woods, Jr.
