Fred Plowman Obituary
He lived through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl years, graduated from the WI Institute of Horology and practiced his trade under license in MN. The armed forces turned Fred down during WWII due to health issues, but he spent a year as a civilian in the Air Transport Command in the Yukon servicing planes on route to Russia as part of the Land/Lease Program. Fred moved to MD in 1950 working as a skilled mechanical engineering technician in the Diamond Ordinance Fuse Laboratories (Bureau of Standards); in Rabinow Engineering Co.; and in the National Heart and Lung Institute, building inventions and gadgets. Fred retired after moving to Jefferson from Rockville in the early 80's and has been busy ever since using his numerous skills for auto repair, garden and house projects, plus watch repair for family and friends. He especially loved woodworking, building several pieces of fine furniture for the home.
Fred is survived by Jackie, his loving wife of 46 years. As a result of a previous marriage, Fred has one son, Frederick Plowman (Louise); granddaughters Lisa
Covington (Farley), Amy Plowman (Bryan) and Hilda Hatgi (Mark); nine great grandchildren and six great-great grandchildren. He is also survived by sister Caroline Kreps (Jack) and numerous nephews and nieces.
In recent years, Fred loved being part of his new church family at New Hope Orthodox Presbyterian Church. A memorial service will be held in the church located at 5305 A Jefferson Pike, Frederick, MD 21703 at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 13,2019.
Contributions in Fred's memory may be made to the church's building fund or to Hospice of Frederick Co. P.O. Box 1799, Frederick, MD 21702.

Fred made Santas table
Jeannette & Gil Kingsbury
April 4, 2019
Fred was a kind and gentle man it was a pleasure knowing him. A couple of years ago I asked if he would make a miniature tea table for me to go with one on my Santa's and I wanted to pay him for making it for me, he would not hear of it and said it was the only one he had made in miniature size. He was a very generous man in many ways,and he will be missed by all who knew him.
