Bailey entered this life on August 15, 1941, in Montgomery County, TN to the late Robert and Mattie Davis Plummer. Bailey was a Christian, and a former Elder of Mt. View Presbyterian Church. He graduated from Montgomery Central High School in 1959 and had a long fulfilling career with Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation. Bailey was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He cherished his family and was a great provider. Bailey loved the outdoors and farming on the family farm. Over the years, he raised cattle, pigs, sheep, quail, goats, and rabbits. He loved running his rabbit dogs, where he watched and listened to them, rather than hunting for the kill.

He is preceded in death by his father, Robert Lewis Plummer; mother, Mattie Belle Davis Plummer Batson; father by marriage, Billie Z. Batson; brother, Joel Plummer, and sister-in-law, Shirley Plummer.

Survivors include his loving wife of over 64 years, Sarah Bumpus Plummer; children, Kevin Plummer (Kristen), Kris Rich (Michael), and Kim Drye (Scott); grandchildren, Boone Smith (Melissa), and Dylan Smith (Karlee); great-grandchildren, Rhett, Brynlei, Grayson, and Layla; sister, Norma Alexander (Gary), and nephew, Greg Plummer.

Pallbearers will be Chad Watkins, Marty Nolin, Dylan Smith, Boone Smith, Joel Baggett, and Scott Drye.
