She was born on July 3rd, 1966, in Forsyth County, to Lawrence Gray Bottoms and Carol Jean Bottoms.

Mrs. Poindexter had a deep love for everyone she met, always bringing kindness, warmth, and joy to those around her. She cherished her time at church, where her faith blossomed, and never missed an opportunity to share the message of Jesus with others. Her love for friends and family was boundless, and she was known for her caring heart and willingness to help anyone in need.

A dedicated nurse at Northern Surry, Mrs. Poindexter, was devoted to her patients, treating each one with compassion and respect. Her care extended beyond people, as she never met an animal she didn’t love. She took in every stray that crossed her path, tending to them with the same love she showed everyone in her life.
