Charles Edward Plummer entered into the presence of his savior and first love Jesus Christ on November 25, 2021. A funeral service celebrating his life will be held at 4pm, Sunday, December 5th followed by a catered reception for all family and friends at Westover Church on 505 Muirs Chapel Rd, Greensboro, NC 27410.
Born on August 1, 1926, Charlie lived through the great depression and took care of his mother and sister after the passing of his father. At age 16, while reading the bible in the evenings, he made a decision to follow Jesus the rest of his life, a commitment he wholeheartedly followed all his days. He started Fleet-Plummer Hardware in Greensboro, NC in 1949 and married Fran Winslow in 1962 and adopted Fran’s two children Bob and Beth. For many years Charlie was involved in the community as a business owner, was a member of Westover Church, and participated in as many activities as he could to show and share the love of Jesus. He was an associate staff member of Campus Crusade for Christ.
Charlie’s lifelong desire was to love Jesus, to share Jesus, to see others grow in their walk with Jesus, and to pray. After the passing of his first wife in 2000, Charlie met and married Leonora Gay in 2004. Charlie lived his life for Jesus, always sharing, giving, and caring for others. His last days were spent in his home with his wonderful caregivers reminiscing and giving thanks to God for the many blessings of his life.
Charlie is survived by his children Bob and Beth, his five grandchildren, and his four great-grandchildren.
