She was a wonderful woman whom i have missed and loved. My  Sympathy to all her family. 

Reba was a very special lady.  She was so strong. She had such beautiful eyes.  When she saw her children you could see the love she had for them.  I have missed her and am quite sad to hear of her we passing. I know she has joined Jerry  (who was pretty special himself) in a better place. RIP, Reba. 

Reba and I were first cousins.  I never knew her as an adult until just a few years ago when I finally located her through working on my genealogy.  

I  remember one time when we were little girls when Reba's dad brought her and her two sisters, Bertha and Shirley, to our house for a visit.   They lived with us for about two weeks while their dad looked for work.  It was great having Reba and her sisters to play with, and I missed them when they left.   

There were other visits at our grandparent's house in Woodbine, KY when we  made mud pies, baking them in the sun wile playing around the pond.  Nights there we gathered around the fireplace and our grandfather played his harmonica while we danced and just acted silly!  Those are very special memories I will cherish forever.

Where do I even begin? There are so many moments, so many precious memories. Mom looked out for each one of us as well as our children as a Momma bear would protect her cubs. 

Mom set the standard in our eyes, as what a capable wife & mother should be - for my brothers & I to know what to look for one day if we were smart & to our one, very precious sister - on who to be like.

I suppose if I were to chose my fondest memories now, it would the love they shared with my best friend, my beautiful wife & our two precious girls. 

There are three memories that always come to mind 
1. coming home after work to find my two little girls drinking coffee, snacking on popcorn & watching “The Price is Right” with Mom... I have never cared for coffee, my girls on the other hand can’t function some early mornings  without it, thanks mom ;) 

2. Going back to their little house in Henryville after Mom & Dad babysat them for us that day to find mom blocking the front door to tell me, “Now Timmy, don’t be mad, Brooklyn had a little mishap” (picture self explanatory) :)  

3. We convinced Mom & Dad to go to Walt Disney World with us, Dad was perplexed as to what we would do after the first day on our 5 day vacation there. If you want a great story, ask me or my girls about “Grandma Ribs” too funny! We later heard from other family members how much they loved that trip, watching them there was like watching two kids! 

For now, good night Mom, rest. Old age sickness & death are gone, you have paid that debt in full. 

I am hopeful that I’ll be there when you are awaken from your deep sleep & you hear words that are similar to what Jesus told the grateful awaiting parents of their precious daughter.

“He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).  - Mark 5:41


Reba was very special. I always had great respect for her. A strong woman who raised 8 kids, 7 of them boys. How could you not admire that feat alone?! I have the privilege of being married to one of those boys and appreciate how well she taught him every day. She always treated me with love. She treated everyone like family. I will miss her and her smile. I can't wait to see her again in the new world. Until then, sleep sweet in Jehovah’s loving memory.

Having lived in Florida for some time, we always stopped to see mom (& dad) when coming through. This is one of my favorite pictures with mom on one of those visits. Benjamin just about squeezed too tight, giving Grandma one of his hugs. She almost gasped then cracked up laughing. It made the perfect memory for us. Mom's laugh was full of love, just like her.

My fondest memories of Aunt Reba were how she opened her home to us when we needed a place during trying times of My Mother and Step Dad. As if she did’nt have enough to  take care of with all her Children, Grandchildren, Husband and business. She showed Gods love and let us stay till we could find our way. She showed Gods love. Her kindness will never be forgotten. RIP Aunt Reba. Time has come to lay your burdens all down. Love You your Niece Tammy

I was so very excited when Reba called My Mother to ask if I would like to baby set for all the adorable Plummer children, so her and Jerry  Could have a date night . They were such an amazing couple  and you could tell just how much in love they were. I was only 15 at the time  but could see how Happy they were and the children was so well behaved , I became closer to Reba and Jerry and was proud That I had that time to spend with my Cousins...Love Debbie. 

I loved my mother. And I know she loved me. My mom and dad stuck together for many years, since they were teenagers and took care of their big family the best way they could. It’s the end of the love story for Jerry and Reba Plummer. But they will always be in my heart.  I bet you’re gonna be real surprised to see Dad waiting  on you in heaven!! And Dad will probably say “Hi sweetheart what took you so long to get here?” Love you Mom!!

Reba was such a strong  lady Reba and Jerry's faith and so much love for each other showed me what I had to do as a young mother thanks Reba and Jerry  for for always loving  being there  when we needed you.       
 your sister  miss you❤❤

Reba Plummer is my Mother by Birth just really glad she is done fighting so hard she loved being alive and helping people and with so many children she was a very busy Lady . I will always miss our Mother I am grateful that I learned a lot from her.I will really miss her always with all 7 brothers and me the only girl ! I will always miss you Mom I love You Mom , Alice your beloved daughter

She was very kind to me. Always loving support , never critical .
She was , as her sister Bertie said, always a caregiver.
She was much more . She educated herself and her children. She was a reader and learned a lot reading practical information about homemaking and the Bible. She read the Watchtower and Awake for decades. She read the classics to her children.  
She worked alongside her husband Jerry in their business.
I cannot say enough.

She was more like a Mother to me when we were growing up. Looked after me and my sister Shirley and I was the baby
 She was 4 years older than me and had a lot of responsibility. She was a care giver all her life. So kind and loving. Wish I could have more time with her as you grew older. She is one of my best memories in my life. Loved her so much.
  

didn't know your mom was Joyce too Larry, that's really sweet. We're sorry to hear about your mom. She had a lot to be proud of in you and Benita's family. Our prayers are with you all. 

She was the sweetest lady I've ever met. Always genuine, honest and kind. She will be missed greatly.

Such a great family & I'm so sorry for your loss.  Prayers coming for you all.
