Daniel Plumley Obituary
Passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 13, 2024.
Danny was born in New Castle, Delaware to the late Davis and Dorothy Ann Plumley. He was a proud 1971 graduate of William Penn High School. After graduation Danny went to work for Delmarva Power retiring after 30 plus years of dedicated service.
He was an avid fan of the Phillies and Eagles. Danny loved trips to Sea Isle City and Myrtle Beach. You could always find him sitting out front of the barber shop in Old New Castle engaging and welcoming clientele for his dear friend Julio. He enjoyed taking rides to the wharf and watching the geese. Dan always cherished times fishing with friends and family. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
In addition to his parents, Danny was preceded in death by his son, Daniel R. Plumley, Jr, and his brothers, Joseph Cooper and David Plumley, and cousin James Thomas.
He is survived by his daughter, Lisa Ruth (Walt); his son, Christopher Plumley; and his grandchildren, Gianna, Amoni, Ayden, Quinten, Addisyn, and Paxton; his sister, Dorothy Ann Harrison( Frank); his cousin, Ronnie McCafferty; his caregiver and daughter in law, Jodi Ferraioli.

I remember Danny (aka- Bubba) from company softball in the mid-late 70´s. We worked together in Substation Dept. since April 1980. We were both die hard Phillies & Eagle Fans. I haven´t seen him since my retirement in 2010. He always thought New Castle was the Center of the Universe (lol). RIP Bubba, see u on the other side. P.S., say hi to Phil & Kevin when u see them!

Cousin Danny and I were born in the same year. Along with his sister we would spend time at the beach in South Jersey. He was a New Castle boy to the core. I am so sorry that I did not see him for many years.
