Fannie Doris Plummer

Homer & Helena Armstrong in Hungerford Texas. She was the fifth

of six children and extremely close to her siblings Koots Tolliver, LA

Armstrong, Clara Armstrong Marks, Carl “Sonny” Armstrong &

Homer “Buddy” Armstrong until their deaths. Fannie was a graduate

of Boiling Vocational High School and proceeded to obtain her

Certified Nursing Certificate. She worked for Memorial Herman

Hospital for many years before deciding to become a full-time home-

maker. Fannie loved the Lord; she was baptized at an early age and

accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. She shared her love

for God with her children, grandchildren and whomever she

encountered. Instilling in them to always look to Him for every

season in life.

Fannie married the love of her life, Jimmy Plummer on April 19, 1961.

They recently celebrated a phenomenal 63 years of marriage. Her

husband was the apple of her eye and we were all fortunate to

witness true love through the life they shared. From their union,

generations have been blessed. Fannie’s heart of gold in conjunction

with Jimmy’s led them to unselfishly give to anyone in need. Their

pastimes included spending time with one another, family and

catching the latest and greatest Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC’s

concert. Fannie loved getting dressed to the nines and showing up

with her “good lookin” husband. She was a devoted wife and if you

know Fannie, you know that she’s taken good care of Jimmy beyond

her final days. Together, Fannie and Jimmy raised their sons, Elbert

“Bert” Cleon Roberts & Carl Winston “Winn” Roberts Sr.

Affectionately known as Mu-dear, the love between her and her sons

was simply indescribable. There is nothing in this world that they

would not do for Mu-dear and vice versa. From her two sons, Fannie

was catapulted into her next favorite role, Grandma. Weekends in her

home tended to be filled with her grandchildren, summers included a

family reunion trip to Wharton and just randomly going to the

country for some quality time with family. Fannie LOVED music.

Gospel music radiated through the house on Sunday mornings and

the afternoons likely included one of Fannie’s homemade

hamburgers and soda while watching TV together. As her

grandchildren grew into adults, there’s always been an expectation

for one or more of them to stop by and check in on Grandma &

Granddaddy at any given moment.

Fannie heard the gentle voice of the Lord calling her home the

morning of Friday, May 17, 2024. She is preceded in death by her

parents, her siblings, her son, Carl W. Roberts Sr. and grandson Carl

W. Roberts Jr. Her legacy of love & memory will be cherished by her

devoted husband, Jimmy; her son, Elbert, six granddaughters, four

grandsons, twenty-two great grandchildren, three great-great grand-

children, a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
