Floyd Plummer Obituary
Floyd E. Plummer quietly slipped away to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on December 6, 2020. He had been fighting a long battle with cancer.
He is survived by his son, Brian Plummer of Chino Valley, AZ and daughter, Kelly Plummer of Tulsa; brothers, Alvin and Leo Plummer, both of Tulsa; and a host of friends and acquaintances.
Floyd was born in Drumright, OK on 18 December 1932 to Niles and Estella Plummer. Floyd graduated from Will Rogers High School in 1951 and Oklahoma State University in 1955 with a degree in Geology and a commission in the United States Army. Floyd went on to active duty on 17 September 1955 and to flight training in San Marcus, TX. After 4 years of active duty, Floyd returned to Tulsa with his wife Rita and son, Brian. Daughter Kelly soon arrived on 8 March 1961.
On 1 January 1960, Floyd started a new career path in the insurance business and simultaneously kept his association with the U.S. Army as a reserve officer pilot, flying both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Floyd concluded his U.S. Army association when he retired 27 May 1992 with the rank of Lt. Colonel with 28 years of service. His retirement from the insurance business occurred on 1 January 2020 after 59 years of service.

I worked with Mr. Plummer for many years as his underwriter with Crum & Forster Insurance. I found him to be an honest man who was very knowledgeable and always took care to request the best service for his clients. It was a pleasure to work with him. My condolences to the family.

I was saddened to hear of Floyd's passing. I have known him since the 60's where we worked together at Occidental Life Insurance. Floyd was always so nice and entertaining at our office parties. The world needs more people like Floyd now more than ever.

I'm sad for your loss. Floyd and I became instant friends through Asbury Stephen's Ministry 13 years ago. He was a Stephen's Ministry to the core. Floyd helped me through the loss of my Daddy, Floyd Miller, in 2009. I will miss our talks. He was a kind and caring man and he will leave a void and a great legacy here on earth, but shine bright in heaven. RIP dear friend.

So sad to hear of Floyd´s passing. He was good friends with my mom, Shelley Bagley, and whenever we were in town (we live in CA) we would have lunch with Floyd. He was such a kind and dear man. I will miss him. RIP
