JOSEPH PLUMMER Obituary
In recent years, Joe was employed as a residential solar system consultant for the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia areas, receiving a regional award for his job performance.
He was a lifelong sports enthusiast and an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penn State, and Syracuse, N.Y. He loved watching football with his family, especially with his son, Austin. He also enjoyed cooking, traveling, attending concerts, and trivia games. He excelled at high school basketball, being a favorite of both fans and announcers. In his senior year, playing for the Coudersport Falcons, he was named the league's Most Valuable Player, and ranks among the top players in Falcons history for assists and steals. He was a member of the winning teams at the invitational basketball camp in 1995 and was named to the Northwest Regional All Stars in 1996.
In addition to his father, of Eldred, and his mother, of Coudersport, Joe is survived by a daughter, Jessica D. Austin (Van) Williams of Raleigh, N.C.; son, Austin M. Plummer of Sterling, Va.; granddaughter, Layla Grace Williams of Raleigh, N.C.; grandson, Baby Boy Williams, due in January 2026; a brother, Jeffrey D. Plummer of Denver, Colo.; sister, Jennifer D. Plummer of Philipsburg; and a niece, Ayva Joy Plummer of Denver, Colo. He is also survived by his former wife of 21 years, high school sweetheart and mother of his children, Jennifer J. Austin of Raleigh, N.C.; as well as many cherished cousins, aunts, uncles and close friends.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Floyd Bliss and Beulah Bliss, and his paternal grandparents, Walter and Mary Lou Plummer.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Carewell Cremations, Fairfax, Va. A Celebration of Life will be held in the Summer.
