Amy was born on June 21, 1971 in Peoria, IL to Robert "Bob" Poynter and Beverly (Yocum) Poynter. Possessing a passionate spirit, she always shared her unconditional love to anyone who crossed her path.
Amy worked many years in customer service as she always enjoyed meeting new people and helping others.
Amy was a light who spread love and joy to all those around her.
