Rosa Mae Buckler Poynter -- who grew the tastiest tomatoes in Bourbon County, made the best green beans and cornbread and raised a large, loving family that serves as her legacy -- died peacefully in her sleep Saturday morning, February 19th, 2011. She was 85.
Retired from the Kentucky Textiles factory in Paris, where for decades she sewed everything from Olympic swimsuits to Sloppy Joes outfits, she was best known as "Rosie" and was married to Frank Poynter, who died in 1990.

They had eight grandchildren -- Chris and Brian Poynter, Stacey Speaks, David Fite, Daniel Snyder, Jessica Shawky, Nathan Poynter and Courtney Fryman -- and seven great-grandchildren Kassy and Sam Poynter, Taesha and Amiyah Speaks, Emma and Dayne Fite and Brody Rison. She was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Autumn Nicole Shout.
