MILDRED PLUMMER

MILDRED MAXINE WILEY PLUMMER Mildred Maxine Wiley Plummer was born on a farm near Blanket, TX on September 13, 1929 to Franklin Curry Wiley and Jessie Mae Haddon Wiley and passed away on August 18, 2024 after a well-lived and much blessed life. While at Howard Payne University, she met Doyle Douglas Plummer from May, TX who after service in the Navy in World War II was studying at Daniel Baker College. They were married in 1952 and soon moved to San Angelo, TX to teach and raise a family. Maxine was an amazing lady. She graduated as the Salutatorian of Brownwood High in 1947. She then graduated from Howard Payne University with a Bachelor's of Science, and later a Masters in Mathematics from the University of New Mexico in 1968. She dearly loved both Math and English and taught both for 28 years at Lincoln Junior High School and Lakeview Junior High in San Angelo. Her favorite things were her family, books, history, puzzles, games with her grandchildren, cats and the occasional dog, and family history. She was a person who wrote letters to her family and friends in an era before email and cell phones. She stayed in contact with her grandchildren (and some of their friends) through her encouraging letters. As a lifelong teacher, she encouraged a life of learning and books in her family. She was a very special Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother (Gigi) and will be greatly missed.
