Mildred "Millie" Ann

Poe

Mildred “Millie” Poe, born August 18, 1938, passed away November 9, 2026 , of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and faithful servant of the Lord, and passed away, leaving a legacy of deep-rooted faith and a life dedicated to serving others.

She grew up in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where she met E.W. Poe, Jr. They were married for 59 years until his passing. Together, they built a family and a life focused on love, faith, and caring for others.

Millie was a proud mother to four children: Angie (Jay) Dennis, Beth (Don) Pierce, Steve (Teri) Poe, and Julie (Terry) Amstutz. She found great joy in her six grandchildren—Will Dennis, Emily Howell, John Mark Pierce, Peyton Pierce, Lauren Ballew, and Samuel Amstutz—and her beloved great-grandchildren: Crosby Dennis; Ace and Scout Howell; Kaleb and Kooper Ballew; Adalyne, Theodore, Madelynn, Abigail, Anniston and Annabelle Pierce; and Brooks and Reese Amstutz. She is also survived by her brother, Virgil Tyner, as well as three nieces and nephews.

Millie shared her many talents and showed her love by serving others. She worked with her husband, E.W. Poe, Jr., at his State Farm Insurance Agency, where he was the agent and she was his secretary. They not only shared 59 years of marriage but also worked side by side. Millie was a wonderful cook, and her meals brought family and friends together. She was a talented seamstress who made clothes for her children with care and creativity. She was also known for writing notes and sending cards to people in need.

Millie’s faith in the Lord was the foundation of her life. She served as the organist at First Baptist Church in Corning, Arkansas, and spent many years teaching Sunday School. She taught children, teenagers, and later the older women’s class, sharing her faith and caring for others at every stage. Her service showed her love for the Lord and her wish to help others grow in faith.

Millie also enjoyed football, which gave her another way to share special moments with her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, E.W. Poe, Jr.; her parents, James Peyton Tyner and Virginia Ann Tyner; and her brother, Clay Tyner.

Millie leaves a legacy of faith, family, love, and service. Her wonderful meals, the clothes she made with love, the music she played at church, and the many lives she touched through her faith will be remembered for generations. Though she will be deeply missed, her love and example will live on in the hearts of her family and everyone who knew her.
