Bobbie Jean Poindexter

Mrs. Bobbie Jean Poindexter, daughter of the late Roosevelt Fairrer and Della (Malone) Fairrer of Athens, Alabama, was born on May 13, 1936. On October 13, 2019 she succumbed to Alzheimer’s Disease. She attended Trinity High School in Athens, Alabama, graduating in 1954 before moving to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1955. In Indianapolis, she most notably worked for the United States Postal Service as a clerk and letter carrier for over 20 years. She was a member of and attended several churches while in Indianapolis. Ms. Bobbie (as she liked to be called) moved to Virginia for a number of years in the 1990s before returning to Indianapolis, where she lived until moving to Annapolis, Maryland in 2015. No matter where she lived, Ms. Bobbie always provided a smile and sharp wit to anyone willing to engage her in conversation. She was uncompromising in her devotion to her family and always put others first. Ms. Bobbie continued her unwavering spirit and faith in god even though the progression of her disease.

Ms. Bobbie was united in holy matrimony to Paul Julius Poindexter in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1956 until his death in 1982, and to Willie Hawkins in 1985 (divorced in 1989). Her sister, Rose Lee Fairrer, sister, Mary Posey, and brother, Charles Fairrer passed before her. Ms. Bobbie is survived by her four children and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
