Amy Poynter

June 21, 1971 — December 28, 2019

Amy Denise Poynter, age 48, of Chillicothe, passed away on Saturday, December 28, 2019 at her home.

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. Amy enjoyed shopping with friends and family, photography, seeing the ocean, being in nature, and live music including a passion for The Grateful Dead. She loved cuddling with her "fur-babies" Precious and Marley and taking them on walks with her partner, Michael "Mike" Little. Amy's contagious smile, heartful laugh, and vibrant personality will be considerably missed by all who were graced by her love.

Amy is survived by her parents and siblings; Stephen Poynter, Megan (Dustin) Fitzpatrick, James Egan, Rachael Cansino, Andrina Egan, Angela Cansino-Vaughn, Zachary Poynter, and Erik Poynter; her grandmother, Thelma "Charlotte" Yocum, and dozens of nieces, nephews, uncles and aunts. She was preceded in death by her brothers Billy and Robert "Bobby" Poynter and her grandparents Marvin Yocum, Lucien Poynter, Robert Johnson and Lera (Poynter) Johnson.
