Sandra Kaye Poindexter

Sandra Kaye Poindexter (Sassy), 76, of Beebe, Arkansas, passed away on February 19, 2026, at Unity Hospital in Searcy after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born on May 11, 1949, in Searcy, she grew up surrounded by the love of her family and the close-knit community that shaped her gentle, steady spirit. Sandra graduated from Beebe High School in 1967 and later attended ASU–Beebe, where she earned her Associate’s degree in accounting. She built a meaningful career as a loan officer at First Security Bank of Beebe, where she was known for her kindness, patience, and the way she treated every customer like a neighbor. She eventually retired to care for her husband and attend to her own health, always putting family first, just as she had done her entire life. Sandra was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Danny H. Poindexter; her parents, Eva Webb Holden and William Clayton Holden; and her brother, Ronnie Wayne Holden. She is survived by her devoted son, Nathan Wayne Poindexter of Beebe; her cherished grandson, Adam Clayton Poindexter, who was the light of her life; her sister, Connye Holden Fortner of Searcy; and a large, loving circle of nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, cousins, and numerous friends who adored her. Sandra’s heart was happiest when she was caring for the people she loved. She found joy in gardening, flower arranging, and creating beauty in the everyday moments of life. Her greatest pride, however, was her family—especially the son and grandson she nurtured with unwavering love. She was also a loyal Arkansas Razorbacks fan, cheering passionately for her Hogs and rarely missing a baseball game. Those who knew Sandra will remember her warmth, her quiet strength, and the way she made everyone feel welcome. She had a gift for making ordinary days feel special, simply by being herself. Visitation will be held at Powell Funeral Home of Searcy on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. , with graveside services to follow at Meadowbrook Memorial Gardens in Beebe at 2:30 p.m. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and celebrate a life lived with grace, devotion, and love. Sandra’s legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. Pallbearers will be Kindel Hale, Derrek Nokes, Matthew Nokes, Conley Herekamp, Brent Herekamp, and Jason Holleman.
