When she became a mother, that was her profession, remaining a homemaker for the rest of her life. She excelled at this in every way. She loved her home and took great pride in caring for it and her family. She enjoyed the simple things in life, traveling, a cup of tea with a friend, bowling, volunteering at the hospital, family camping trips and most of all, time spent with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She loved and was deeply loved by all of her family and friends. She leaves behind her son, Charles Poynter, her daughter Sue and favorite son-in-law, Ian McCalister, grandchildren, Julie and Greg Bergman, Brian McCalister and fiancé, Laurie, Ryan and Tracy Poynter, Nikki and Sean Moore and great-grandchildren, Reece McCalister, Tristan and Carly Poynter, Kade and Keira Bergman and her special pal, Ray McCalister Jr., as well as nieces, Pat Green, Rochella Handrock and nephews Lloyd and Howard Coppenger. She was the last member of her family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make a donation to your favorite charity or do a good deed for someone in need…this was her spirit.
Visitation will be Monday, September 21st at Skillin-Carroll Mortuary from 4:00 –8:00 pm. Graveside services will be on Tuesday, September 22nd at 11:00 am at Santa Paula Cemetary.
